Overview

Pennies for Pasta is an idea for a pasta house open to the many people and families who suffer from hunger. Pasta is known as a good source of endurance and contains many nutrients which we need in our everyday lives. It will give them what they need to survive and continue looking for employment or help with their problems. Too many people are shuffled to the side because they are in need and do not have money. They are made to line up and eat what they are given. Pennies for Pasta will give the "dining" experience to the customer. For a small charge of $2 a less fortunate person can enter the establishment and sit at a table, be served by a waiter or waitress choose a beverage (pepsi, 7up etc) read a small menu basically choosing between 2 or 3 items ie: penne, spaghetti, fusilli in choice of sauce: tomato or meat sauce or even florentine. I have spoken to several distributors who have offered to donate, pasta, cans of tomatoes and bread to aid in the cause.

Community Benefit

The hope is to restore confidence and give the people a feeling of importance and this will hopefully transform into more job hunting and belief in the fellow man. To dissolve classes and make one and all feel equal.
