Our Story

Meemaws is a family owned and operated pay what you can restaurant in Union Oregon. In April of 2024 Meemaw (Elise Stevens) told her husband “God is leading me to open a restaurant”. 

With only $20 in their bank account the two proceeded to pursue opening a restaurant relinquishing all control to God. With the help and support of the community the doors to Meemaws Hometown Kitchen were opened just 30 days later. 

After being open for 6 weeks and watching the division that the prices on the menu caused for the people in the community Meemaw went to God for a solution. God laid it on her heart to remove all the prices on the menu, make it a pay what you can restaurant, and to use their social media income to help fund the restaurant. 

Meemaw and Bigred have been using social media for three years to spread their story and help others see that through God there is life after abuse. They earned a small income through one app but the Lord led them to expand to more apps and spread the love of Jesus through Meemaws. 

They have quickly grown on social media and are truly doing the work of God. Meemaws feeds anyone and everyone no matter how much money they have in their pocket. They love like Jesus and just wants to feed everyone.
