The Story of Drexell & Honeybees Donations Only Restaurant

This book tells the story of a small-town restaurant in Brewton, Alabama that doesn't charge their guests. It is the brainchild of Lisa McMillan and is a donation-only restaurant. That means there are no cash registers, or suggested menu prices. Guests can simply leave a donation if they are willing or able to; no questions asked. The restaurant has fed over 100 people daily, three days a week. It's Mission is to "Feed the Need," and raise awareness about food insecurity and hunger.

In this book, Mrs. Lisa shares how preparing 27 breakfast meals in her kitchen evolved into Drexell & Honeybees Donations Only Restaurant. She shares the reality of what it is like to follow a dream and make it a reality, and the joy of seeing it come alive. Through this book, she hopes to inspire you, the reader, to follow your dreams, embrace the process, and not be afraid to pivot when necessary, but most of all, she hopes to inspire you to serve others because it results in the kind of joy and fulfillment we are all looking for in this life.
