A Table for All

Alumna Maggie Kane’s A Place at the Table cafe gives patrons several options to pay for their meals — and pay it forward for others. Kane had the idea for the restaurant about four years ago, not long after earning her bachelor’s degree in international studies from NC State. After visiting local soup kitchens with people experiencing homelessness and poverty, she set out to build a new restaurant where all people could order from a menu, break bread and have dignity while they dined. Today, that vision is becoming reality.
