We are a nonprofit organization that has a mission to improve the health and wellbeing of any indivdual that seeks our services. We offer wellness education and classes, access to healthy foods and social engagement. This ensures that all people have the resources they need to thrive and live a healthy life.
We are seeking volunteers for our social engagement meal events. We are starting out with once a month events. They will be held on the third Thursday of the month. This may change but the time being it will be held on a Thursday. Social engagement is important part of being healthy and people need to have social connections. Having live music at our events are very important and our guests really love it. We want our guests to have a wonderful experience. We create enviroment that is inviting and brings people together. Listening to music can have many postive effects on the body and brain, it can reduce stress, elevate mood and increase feelings of happiness and joy.
We have in the past hosted many meal events and stopped during the covid pandemic. We used a pay what you can afford donation model. The meals had suggested donation of $10. We have a diverse group and no one was turned away for lack of funds. Many guests gave extra to help cover the cost of a person in need,

Our mission is to empower our guests by promoting health and wellness by providing education and access to affordable healthy food, set in a socially engaging environment, that creates a healthy life.
Community-based solutions that will reduce food insecurity, isolation and poor health.
Our Vision: to open a storefront cafe to serve the community on a regular basis.
Our Vision: We strive to build a healthy community by providing delicious and nutritious food in a respectful and dignified manner to anyone who walks through the door and wants to contribute to our community. We envision that the quality of the food and the comfortable atmosphere will draw people from all walks of life and entice them to become involved. Volunteers will feel satisfied by their experience on many levels because the cafe is a vehicle that positively impacts our community environmentally, economically, and socially.
History Since April 2016, Harmony Cafe has hosted meal events, primarily at the VFW hall on Edwards Street in Patchogue, NY. We use a Pay-What-You-Can pricing donation model, which can be exchanged for volunteer hours. This encourages more community involvement and allows us to encourage people to join us from all socioeconomic backgrounds. During the pandemic, we switched to emergency food relief. In 2021, we added a wellness program that provides health education and access to healthy food.
