After nearly two years of providing drive-thru events and meal vouchers, Encore Café is returning to in-person dining. The program will start with two days per week on Wednesdays and Thursdays at Lowe Park Arts & Environmental Center in Marion. Most details are just like the good ol’ days:

  • open 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

  • face masks are strongly encouraged when not dining

  • reservations are strongly encouraged by 1 p.m. the day before dining to ensure enough food

  • call 319-398-2585 to make your reservation

  • $5 suggested contribution for diners ages 60 and older. $9 cost for diners under 60.

  • menus announced on a monthly basis, with February and March linked here:

While we’re restarting slowly and carefully this month, Encore Café will reopen at other sites in the near future. Look for news about Tuesdays at St. Mark’s UMC in the next month or two. Mondays and Fridays at the Marion Public Library are pending construction on their new building.

We’re looking forward to seeing and serving you again starting next week. Remember to make those reservations: 319-398-2585
