Sunday Forum: Hospitality, Migrant Justice, and Cafe Gratis

Café Gratis is a volunteer-run hospitality table that provides free coffee, tea, and snacks for migrant families who must regularly check-in with a subcontractor of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) along a busy roadway in a Tukwila office park. Sarah Riggio, a parishioner of St. James Cathedral, started the table and has operated it every business day (9 a.m. to Noon) since Advent 2025, welcoming all to come to the table for a warm cup and conversation. Join Sarah and members of Saint Mark’s migrant accompaniment team who’ve gotten involved to learn more about this simple, yet profound expression of solidarity. Contact SherrySmith if you are interested in volunteering for a morning shift.
