The Table is a 100% volunteer-run non-profit; we can reach out to the community at very low cost. The Zeffy campaign focuses on how our open-door and non-judgmental principles allow people to come and invite others to join this unique community. The campaign also highlights change and how we address it in the context of community dinners. The Table is changing lives through sharing meals together! Yes, not giving a meal, but giving dignity by sharing dinner, knowing individuals and jointly charting next steps in life.

We focus on the outcomes donors help make possible. Because of a sit-down dinner with people in the community for under $5 per meal. People moved from homelessness to housed because of the trust relationship created by sharing meals together. Moved individuals from addiction to sobriety. Reduced “food insecurity”. All of this and more, with 100+ registered volunteers giving their time to care for and serve individuals.
