A little about Laura Cann
Laura, a Rapid City native, has been one of our fantastic Volunteers at Fork Real since 2022.
Q: Why do you volunteer at Fork Real Community Café?
A: “A dear friend of ours told us about Fork Real and the amazing work that was being done. I was searching for a place that would allow my husband and I to teach our kids how important it is to serve others and invest our time in the community in which we live. I wanted to find a place we could regularly support by volunteering a few hours a week, where my kids and I could interact with others in the community and learn valuable skills along the way. We've found that at Fork Real!”
Q: What do you love most about being at the Café?
A: “I love how Fork Real gives back to the community in a wide variety of ways; many of which I am still learning about! I have the utmost respect for what their mission is and how they are constantly seeking ways to do more in our community. It is truly humbling and a privilege to serve alongside them.”
Q: What ARE YOUR FAVORITE MENU ITEMS?
A: “That's a toughie because there are so many amazing choices! I would have to say some of my favorites are the crepes, the variety of homemade soups, and of course the cheesecake! The flavors are often unique and absolutely delicious! *And a plug for the Fork Real food truck-the Grilled Chicken Berry Salad is scrumptious!!”
Q: WHEN YOU AREN’T VOLUNTEERING AT THE CAFÉ, WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING?
A: “I enjoy reading, attempting to garden, and spending time out in the Hills with my husband and kids.”
Q: What should people know about Fork Real Community Café?
A: “If you haven't been-what are you waiting for?! You won't regret it! If you are seeking a place to give back to the community and serve others, give Fork Real a call.”
