The People’s Table
A soup kitchen to serve those of Columbia who may need to choose between food and other basic needs of life
The People's Table is dedicated to addressing food insecurity by serving hot meals twice a week to those in need. Our mission extends beyond just providing nourishment; we aim to create a supportive community where everyone feels valued and cared for. In addition to our meal services, we also establish warming and cooling stations during extreme weather situations, ensuring that individuals have a safe and comfortable place to seek refuge. Together, we can make a positive impact and support our community in times of need.
