What a great reminder of how strong our community can be. Thanks to Monterrey Mexican Bar & Grill for putting care into action! They’re making a big impact and reminding us how powerful it is to show up for each other. At Dismas House, we believe no one thrives alone, and it means so much to see local businesses stepping up during these tough times to support those in the community who are in need. Even better, they’re giving all of us a way to be part of the good. If you’ve been looking to help your neighbor, here’s your sign. Let’s keep the love going and build a stronger, more connected community together.
Update: if you have been able to utilize the free meal already please let others get a free meal. And we will be changing the time we are serving the meals to only from 3pm-5pm today, Thursday and Friday. The meals will be served to-go and you must be present to recieve a meal.
Times are tough right now for a lot of families, we’re hearing stories every day about delayed pay, SNAP cuts, and people just trying to make ends meet. It’s heavy out there, and we see you.
At Monterrey, we’ve always believed that when things get hard, you take care of your neighbors. So for the first week of November, we’re offering what we’re calling a Community Plate/meal/special, whatever floats your boat,
a free meal for anyone truly in need.
No forms, no questions, no judgment. Just kindness.
We’ll choose the meal each day based on what’s available, it might vary depending on supplies, but it’ll always be something warm, filling, and made with love.
We’re a small, family-run restaurant, we’re feeling the strain too, now more than ever, but we’d rather stretch what we have and help where we can than sit back and do nothing. We just ask that folks be respectful and let this be for those who really need it.
We’ll give it a try for a week and see how it goes. If it helps even a few families breathe a little easier, it’ll be worth it.
Thank you to everyone who supports us and makes it possible for us to do things like this.
Note: The Community Plate is for dine-in only, and the person must be present to receive the meal. The dish may vary based on what’s available. We’ll do our best to accommodate allergies, but we can’t guarantee every request. This offer will be through the first week of November (or while supplies last) and may be changed or paused at any time if needed.
