Aside from her love for cooking, Paulette Johnson, an entrepreneur and the owner of Trucker’s Café, also loves helping people. Her café has been known not only for its “biggest mother truckin’ burger” but mostly because it closes its doors every Monday to serve the homeless.
Mondays are usually a busy day for restaurants with lots of customers coming in and out. But Paulette Johnson shuts down her restaurant every Monday to serve a different clientele – and they will not have to pay.
Truckers Café, located at 1910 Martin Luther King Blvd. in South Dallas, Texas is closed once a week to accommodate the homeless and those in need of a hot meal. Besides that, Johnson also provides them clean clothes, shoes, and toiletries. “I just feel blessed that somebody is out here to care for people like us,” Barbara Jameson smilingly said despite the hardships that led her to Johnson’s Monday lunch.
Having grown up in a battered woman’s shelter, Johnson understands what it’s like to go without. “My heart just flooded, there’s no word, I just feel good,” Johnson said. “I been aching all day in the morning, feet everything, dealing with my health, but once I see these guys, all that goes away.” Kudos to this sister for her giving heart. If you’re in the Dallas area, support her restaurant! (via BlackBusiness.org)
