Open Table's New Facility

33 Main Street, Maynard MA

Look what your support has made possible! For the first time in 27 years, Open Table of Concord and Maynard has its very own location with dedicated facilities including a pantry, kitchen, and community dining area! This is a game-changing move for Open Table and its guests and it would never have been possible without your most generous and deeply appreciated support.

Vision for the Future

By moving to this large, dedicated location in Maynard, Open Table will be able to offer more meals and extended pantry hours. Having a permanent location will allow us to revolutionize our pantry so that our guests will enjoy a normal supper and shopping experience, choosing from a variety of healthy food as they push their carts through the aisles. Additionally, the extra refrigeration and freezer space will allow us to glean and store ‘rescued food’ from local restaurants and farms increasing the variety of healthy choices available.

But the most exciting possibility is that by having our own space, we can reimagine Open Table as a place for community around healthy eating. We can expand our programming to include menu-planning sessions, budgeting, help in decoding Medicare and Medicaid programs, cooking demonstrations, classes that teach teens how to cook, workshops on living with diabetes and hypertension, special luncheons and celebrations for the elderly (partnering with local Councils on Aging).

Thank you for your support in getting us here!

Grand Opening

On Sunday, September 10, 2017 Open Table officially opened our new facility at 33 Main Street in Maynard with a lively Grand Opening celebration. The event included an art show, curated by Nanri Tenney, of local artists who created the many healthy food-themed canvases that brighten the walls of our dining room, formal and informal tours of the facility, samples of fresh produce and delectable offerings from our talented and tireless chefs, and music was provided by Workingman’s Duo.

The formal ceremony, emceed by Open Table Executive Director, Jeanine Calabria, was highlighted by presentations from honored guests, Congresswoman Nikki Tsongas, State Senator Jamie Eldridge, State Representative Kate Hogan, and Maynard Selectman David Gavin.

The facility was officially opened with a community ribbon cutting. Co-Chairpersons Deena Whitfield and Patty Chambers unveiled the newly designed Open Table logo recreated in icing on a cake. Truly a GRAND Grand Opening!

Thanks to WAVM, the student run radio & TV station at Maynard High School for this great video of the event.
