Donations from community members, local businesses, and churches help make Welcome to the Table Project possible, however, as food and supply costs continue to skyrocket, many of our volunteers donate their own funds to help insure that our programs and services are delivered in a high-quality manner each week. Finding additional funds has become a real challenge.<\/p>\n

Please consider making a donation to help support Welcome To The Table Project’s programs and services.\u00a0 Donations will not only allow us to purchase food and supplies, but also to meet increased demand for our services.\u00a0 We can continue to battle food insecurities in our community, but we need your help.<\/p>\n
