For more than a year, the Lowrider CAFE on N. Michigan Street in downtown Toledo has been serving Mexican American food downtown.
Then, a global pandemic changed everything.
"When COVID hit, it was scary. A lot of people, when they told us we had to shut down dining a lot of people were afraid. Definitely us. So we told our employees it's gonna be slow for a while," Lowrider CAFE co-owner Jacob Estrada said. 
But the business owners aren't letting the virus stop it from spreading the love to those most in need.
Loyal customers returned when the cafe reopened, including several people without a home and others down on their luck. So owners Jacob Estrada and Sylvia Almaguer shifted gears to stay open and share some love.
They do this through a system they call love tokens. For $5 you can purchase one through their social media or in person. They will then hold on to the token in what they call a love dispenser until someone comes by and asks for a meal.
