Our Neighbors' News

Oh how thankful we are...let us count the ways...

We had so much to be thankful for in November! Our sponsors, volunteers and patrons bless us each and every day. One Bistro continues to be able to fulfill its mission to provide a place where our neighbors eat and come together as one community because of all of you! THANK YOU for your support!

Happenings in December

We will be serving a special Christmas Community Meal on Wednesday, December 20 from 5pm to 7pm. We hope you can join us!



The bistro will be closed Monday, December 24th-Monday, January 1st for the Christmas and New Year holidays.

Gingerbread House Contest


We had a great time hosting the Gingerbread House Contest on Friday as part of Xenia's Christmas Station. These beauties will be on display in the common area of Toward Independence through December 9th and there is still time to vote for your favorite!

One Token One Meal

It's That Simple!

Don't forget to grab your tokens this holiday season! They make amazing gifts for friends, neighbors, kids, parents, grandparents, teachers, community workers, aunts & uncles, tutors, pastors, mailman/woman, complete strangers...pretty much anyone you can think of. Everyone loves a delicious hot meal in a warm, loving and safe environment. It's that simple!

We are so thankful for our WONDERFUL Community Meal volunteer groups!

"Excellent - usually have breakfast there on Saturday mornings. Opens at 8 AM on Saturday. Good breakfast menu and great tasting fresh food. Lots of volunteer opportunities here. This place also feeds a lot of folks in need. Win win for the individual and the community." David V.

We love when groups come during regular service hours and volunteer together, share the love and serve one another!

We are so thankful for our wonderful volunteers from the Capabilities Community Clubs who help set up the bistro in the morning and get it ready to open!

In Case You Missed it on Facebook

We were so blessed to be able to serve these three members of the Association of Ex-Pupils (AXP) from the Ohio Sailors and Soldiers Home. On the left, Bob Gilbert, class of '68 is the President, James Baas, class of '74 is Vice-President and Janice Daulbaugh Gouch, class of '69 is a member. All three were raised at the "Home" which is now the campus of Athletes in Action, Legacy Christian Academy, Strong Tower Christian Media etc. They love Xenia, the Home and One Bistro.

Here are some of the BEAUTIFUL smiling faces who joined us in the bistro in November.

Out and About in our Community

One Bistro had the opportunity this month to donate 120 boxed meals to Athletes in Action. They were hosting a group of coaches from all around the world who assembled in Xenia this week for a conference. These local ministry partnerships are such a blessing!

One Bistro had the pleasure of hosting MAX - the Ministry Association of Xenia (formerly XAACM) this month and serving them an amazing breakfast! It is a blessing to be part of such a great group of people, who all do so much for our community!!

"Interesting concept in affordable dining/community ministry/pay it forward. Food was great and the volunteers serving were so nice and helpful. We enjoyed it, and would recommend." Jon B.

Delicious Food

Have we mentioned lately how amazing our food is? Our cooks work hard to develop creative, hearty and scrumptious meals that will tantalize your tastebuds and fill your belly. And as always, they add their secret ingredient, love, to every dish. From savory soups and mouthwatering salads to juicy burgers, signature bistro sandwiches to loaded tater totchos, omelets stuffed with your favorite fillings to gourmet pancakes, we've got it all!
