The Table
What We Do:
Provide a welcoming environment and a free, nutritious meal five days a week to anyone who is hungry. Diners include the elderly, struggling families with children, working poor, veterans, and the homeless. More than 25 different community groups have prepared and served hot meals since 1986.
Now in our 33rd year of providing a free meal every weekday, we have served well over 1 million meals. The emotional benefits of a shared meal in a safe, welcoming environment can lead to a sense of community and social engagement. This can be as important as a meal itself. Friends, businesses, and civic or faith-based groups commit to preparing and serving meals to anyone who is hungry. Our community-serving-community model is supported by more than 1200 volunteers a year.
