Thanks to the folks below for getting the "token" party started!

We appreciate you!

Two anonymous donors each purchased a half pint of tokens and gave them to two separate organizations. One went to 4 Paws for Ability to bless the families who come into town from around the country to pick up their service dogs. The other was given to Veterans Services of Greene County to bless veterans in honor of the upcoming Veterans Day.

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

Xenia United Presbyterian Church decided a few years ago that they would like to do more to serve their local community. A few members of the Missions Committee had been to One Bistro for lunch and suggested sponsoring and volunteering to serve a Wednesday night Community Meal. Serving together has been a huge blessing to their group! They have grown close as a team and they depend on and help each other in their everyday lives as well!


They love serving at Community Meal because of the people who come to eat! "Everyone comes from such different situations and all have different kinds of needs, yet, at One Bistro, all are treated with respect and dignity!" says Carolyn Jackson, XUPC's representative. "There is a different atmosphere at One Bistro than you will find in any other restaurant. It is a special place!"

ChaCha's Street Sweets generously donated dessert for our end of the summer Community Meal. It was a hit with the crowd . . and not just the children, the adults were loving the treats too!

Thank you ChaCha's Street Sweets!

We are now scheduling sponsors and volunteer groups for our Wednesday evening Community Meals in 2024!


These dates will fill up quickly, so if there is a specific date you know you would like to reserve, please let us know ASAP. Email info@onebistro.org to reserve your date or with any questions.

"Nothing but perfection! Food is excellent, best eggs I've had in a very long time. Volunteers/staff were so friendly and helpful. Love the concept as well, if you pay $6 extra (prices are already very low here) then you can pay a meal forward." Anna S.

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

The students stayed busy and left feeling fulfilled!"

Ministry Meals

One Bistro is happy to bless Toward Independence with Ministry Meals for their group homes in the Xenia area. These meals mean so very much to these incredible adults with disabilities and their "house parent". It's just another way we can bless and love our neighbors! Here is a message they sent us in October:


"TEAM TENNESSEE would like to give a BIG SHOUT OUT TO ONE BISTRO AND CINDY SEABOLT for the awesome food that Cindy brought to the house the guys love it!!! To Cindy and One Bistro the guys send a great big THANK YOU! And as always thank you from TEAM TENNESSEE!!!!!"

In Case You Missed it on Facebook

Maya recently graduated from Valparaiso in IN and returned home to the Dayton area. She was looking for a place to serve, to give back to her community, and she and her mom found One Bistro! She loves the welcoming atmosphere in the cafe, where anyone can come and be served a delicious meal, without judgment. She said, "I love to be able to serve my community in such a meaningful and unique way...and the food is delicious too!" It is so much fun, she doesn't even mind getting up early on a Saturday morning to come in and volunteer!

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

Out and About in our Community

One Bistro had the opportunity to provide boxed lunches for the staff and volunteers of our local radio stations Hope 100.7 and 93.7 The Light during their fall fundraiser. It is a privilege to be able to partner with this ministry.

One Bistro board members started the day at the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast and ended the day at the Toward Independence Hydroponic Workshop!

"Great food, friendly staff, and a great mission! I got the special (Chorizo Burger) and it was incredible. Will definitely be back when I’m in Xenia. Keep up the good work!" James G.
