Open Table relies on the support of hundreds of volunteers, generous individual donors, funding organizations and community partners. We deeply appreciate everyone’s belief in our mission. Thank you!
Individuals, Families, and Community Groups
Some of our most important supporters are people like YOU! Individual donors who make donations, families who drop off a bag of groceries in honor of a child’s birthday, scout troops who pack kids’ bags, or the neighborhood that sponsors a fall food drive. There are so many of these generous and thoughtful people in our community who support Open Table on a small, medium or large, but always significant level.
Funding Sources
Open Table relies on many different funding sources.
Many thanks to the generous organizations that have made a significant investment in our work, enabling us to meet the growing number of clients who turn to us for assistance.
