10 days, 3,000 meals: Everett cafe steps in to feed homeless

EVERETT — After months of a slow trickle of takeout customers, Vintage Cafe got one massive to-go order this month:

Three thousand hot meals — each with a meat, a vegetable and a starch.

The downtown Everett eatery volunteered to cook the food for Everett Gospel Mission clients after a COVID-19 outbreak at the organization’s Smith Avenue shelter temporarily put the mission kitchen staff out of commission.

For 10 days, a handful of cafe staff stepped up, churning out 300 daily dishes to feed the homeless people who rely on the mission for lunch and dinner. All of it came from the restaurant kitchen, with two ovens, a grill and four gas burners.
