Korea House's Free Community Meal Program

This family-run North Austin staple has long been known for its sizzling bulgogi and bubbling hot pots, but since 2023, it’s also been serving up something even more nourishing: dignity. On the first Wednesday of each month, Korea House opens its doors for a pay-what-you-can community lunch, no questions asked. It’s a quiet, consistent act of mutual care, a restaurant feeding not just hunger, but humanity. Amid skyrocketing food insecurity, this initiative turns hospitality into solidarity, one hot meal at a time.
