Breaking Bread Together: Initiative to Fight Racism and Bigotry

By Robert Lloyd Black Lens Contributor

Open Letter to Restaurant and Coffee House Owners:

I am writing to you with an exciting proposal that I believe will not only benefit your establishment but also contribute positively to our community’s social fabric. As you are already aware, issues surrounding racism, bigotry, and the marginalization of certain groups persist in our society. In an effort to combat these issues and foster meaningful dialogue, I am proposing the implementation of a unique initiative called “Breaking Bread Together.”

The concept behind Breaking Bread Together is simple yet powerful. It involves hosting gatherings at your restaurant or coffee house where individuals from all walks of life can come together over a specially curated bread for 5-10 people. These gatherings would take place once or twice a month and serve as a platform for open and respectful discussions on social change, inclusivity, and empathy.

I believe that by participating in the “Breaking Bread Together initiative” your establishment can reap numerous benefits, both tangible and intangible. Here are some incentives for restaurants to consider:

  1. Community Engagement: By hosting these gatherings, your restaurant can position itself as a community hub that actively promotes social dialogue and positive change.
  2. Increased Foot Traffic: The unique nature of the Breaking Bread Together events is likely to attract new customers who are interested in participating in meaningful discussions while enjoying a special meal.
  3. Positive Brand Image: Being associated with a socially conscious initiative like “Breaking Bread Together” can enhance your restaurant’s reputation and differentiate it from competitors.
  4. Cultural Impact: Your restaurant can play a pivotal role in nurturing a culture of understanding, compassion, and unity within the community.
  5. Revenue Generation: The specially curated bread for group settings can serve as an additional revenue stream for your business, attracting larger parties and boosting sales.

In addition to these incentives, participating in “Breaking Bread Together” can also have a profound impact on the social fabric of our community. By providing a space for people to come together, share their perspectives, and foster empathy, your restaurant can be a catalyst for positive change in our society.

I urge you to consider joining us in this important initiative. Together, we can create a more inclusive and compassionate community where everyone feels welcome and valued. If you are interested in learning more about “Breaking Bread Together” or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the possibility of working together to make a difference.
