Between four months and countless hours spent researching, demolishing, building, painting, staining, and cleaning, Mark Setzer has been volunteering with One Acre Café from day one of renovation.
“I learned when I was younger that you never let a person go hungry no matter who they are,” says Mark Setzer on his interest in One Acre.
Our society has strayed from being a community; we stay boxed up in our cars and in our fenced in backyards. But community is the center of One Acre Café and the center of Mark’s involvement with the café.
Mark says, “We need to get back to being a community, it’s a requirement of society.” Working together with others in the community towards a common goal has brought a new purpose to Mark’s life.
“I can see One Acre becoming the real center of the community, and tying everything together, businesses, colleges, neighborhoods, and downtown,” says Mark.
Daily work on the renovation of the café has made Mark excited for the café to open and the first group to come in and eat. “They will leave with smiles on their faces, and when they come back a second time, it will be even better,” says Mark.
Thank you to Mark and all our other faithful volunteers for giving their time to serve this community.
