Spring 2023
From our President and CEO Dear Friends, The past few years have been a challenge. The world has endured a pandemic and its aftermath. And now we’re facing record-setting inflation and shortages of everyday items like paper goods and eggs. The saying goes that adversity often brings out the best in people. Your unwavering support during these trying times is proof of that and has given muchneeded hope to families struggling to put food on the table. Community Table has always been a hub for those who want to lend a helping hand. As we continue to fight hunger and homelessness, we look to all of you who have donated food, time and money and say thank you. We know we are not alone in our mission to improve the lives of so many. To ensure we are ready to help, no matter the circumstances, we continually improve our programs and add needed services to support our most vulnerable community members. You can read more about these new offerings in this newsletter, including helping the growing number of older adults facing hunger. Thank you for being part of our efforts to help those in need. Your compassion reminds us that kindness is alive and well in our community, and we are endlessly grateful for your support. With gratitude,
Sandy Martin Chief Executive Officer
When you’re hungry, it’s difficult to focus on much else. The volunteers and staff are kind and friendly. The food is well organized, and the portions are generous. I am truly grateful for their assistance. — Tosha
