BATESBURG-LEESVILLE, S.C. — One restaurant in Batesburg-Leesville is using some of the money they make to help make a difference in their community.
Street Squad Lexington talked with folks in the Batesburg-Leesville community to find out what makes their town so unique. One person thought the Hebrews Cafe should be recognized for what they do in the community.
The restaurant is located off East Railroad Avenue near Main Street. It’s been in business since February 2018.
Kyle Whalen is the Shift Leader at the restaurant. He says one of their main goals is to have a positive impact on the community.
“It provides good food for the spirit and for the soul and for the body,” said Whalen.
Hebrews Cafe makes anything from burgers, pizza, salad, coffee, and much more. They take pride in having a Bible on each table at their business.
“What we focus on here is good community service and we want to see that people can see Christ through us and the good community relations we have,” explained Whalen.
Inside the faith-based restaurant, they sell t-shirts that benefit mission. Hebrews Cafe takes pride in giving back to the community. The cafe says they take 20% of their profit and donate it to missions in the community and abroad.
“We fund local soup kitchens that pop up every now and again, churches, and soup drives,” said Whalen. “We want to help everyone from top to bottom whether they are well-off and have a big house or they are out on the street and homeless.”
During the week, Hebrew Cafe has different events. On the fourth Friday of every month, they have open worship nights where they may have live music.
Hebrew Cafe hopes they can be a place where you can be both physically and spiritually fed.
