Recent Support Opportunities
In addition to cash donations, food and grocery donations, volunteering time, and attending events, there are many other ways to support Open Table, all of which are greatly appreciated.
”Creating
We usually need 11 centerpieces each night.
Let your imagination go wild with the possibilities! Guests take the centerpieces home after dinner, so think about what you would like to take home.
If a single item, try a small vase with fresh, dried or plastic flowers; canning jars with pre-measured cookie mix; a jar filled with birdseed with a small scooper attached.
Or create a collection so that everyone at the table has something to take home. For example a container with toothbrushes & mini toothpaste tubes; mini toiletries; pens and mini notepads; granola bars.
If a holiday is coming up, you can theme the centerpieces accordingly. Maybe blank Valentine’s Day cards or Mardi Gras beads.
There are 7 seats at each table.
Our one rule: no candy please.
Remember that the centerpieces do not need to be elaborate to help bring a smile to our guests’ faces. And each piece does not need to be the same; different pieces along a similar theme can add interest to the tables.
If purchasing supples is too expensive consider collect items from your friends and family, such as
- flowers from home gardens
- travel size soaps and shampoos from hotels
- stationery and blank greeting cards.
And don’t worry if you cannot put together the suggested number. We are thrilled with any centerpieces that can be supplied!
