Join One World Spokane during their last week
Sad news: Janice and Keith Raschko said they will close One World, located at 1804 E. Sprague Ave., after lunch on Saturday.
It took a lot of courage to bring this movement to Spokane. For the last four years, you could pay what you want and pick your portion. The food was local and organic. You could volunteer hours instead of paying. Despite that, not enough customers came through to keep things afloat. The owners have stated there are some folks willing to takeover at a new location so stay tuned for that.

But I hope you can swing by to join them before the doors close. Janice said "We thought it only fitting that we bring Chef Daniel back to One World Cafe for our final week. Chef Daniel from Salt Lake City brings his amazing culinary talent to our kitchen from Nov 1st to the 5th. He will be cooking lunches on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 11 to 3 and dinners on Thursday and Friday from 5 to 8."
After the jump is the statement from Janice.
From concept to reality, it became a life of its own. People from all walks of life have come through the doors of the cafe and the gates of the garden to share food and fellowship.
Our volunteers are some of the greatest people Spokane has the privilege to call its own. I am awed by the dedication and love these volunteers have shown to One World. This social experiment created an incredible synergy which permeated the very walls of its community space.
Keith and I never knew what would happen with such a concept as One World and have been amazed, inspired, humbled and challenged throughout the journey. It was our original intent to foster the It was our original intent to foster the movement here in Spokane and then let the community take over. We have gone as far as we can go and we will be closing One World Cafe at 1804 E Sprague Ave as of Nov 5th.
We want to thank you, the supporters of One World Spokane who have played a large part in keeping the dream alive. It has been an incredible journey and we are eternally grateful to have worked with so many wonderful people.
