This Windsor, Ont., restaurant serves people who can't afford to pay

A restaurant in Windsor, Ont., is cooking up extra food for people who cannot afford a meal — and dishing it out for free.

But the staff say they're the ones getting the benefits.

Ten Friends Diner, at the corner of Wyandotte Street and Moy Avenue, is a non-profit establishment that provides support and employment training for people with mental illness.

The staff collect donations in a jar to pay for meals for anyone who can't afford them, said Steven Cromie, the restaurant's peer leader.

"We also do charity events like bingos, to put money back in the homeless fund and many other aspects of the program."

Heartwarming story, a positive one important to share during these tough times, imo.
