Things You Need To Know About Table Of Plenty

By Donald Perry


There are many organizations that are trying to help the community in any way they can. These usually comes in the form of voluntary work where they serve dinner, build housing and other things that can assist those in need. These groups are able to do this with the help of others who donate their money and time to their vision.

The most common of this voluntarism that can be found in communities are free dinners for those that are experiencing hardships. An example of this is the organization Table of Plenty HMB which serves dinner on Thursdays every week. They serve those struggling financially, just recently lost a job, elderly, homeless and others in Half Moon Bay, CA and areas nearby.

The food is prepared by volunteers with the donations they get from others either financially or in kind. The ingredients of their food are sometimes grown from their own gardens or from the gardens of people in the community. Even some animals are raised by them with the help of other organizations.

The volunteers serving are all wearing a uniform with a smile in serving those who are eating inside the dinner hall. Tables have linen covering them and decorated with flowers at the center with beautiful background music playing. The ambiance is that of a high class restaurant which most of those present are not able to experience in their life.

You can be part of this as a volunteer as well by just approaching the one in charge and telling them of your wish to do so. This is a very great activity for your children to do as most of them like the experience they had. Both children and adults alike will become more aware of the need of the unfortunate members of the community.

You can also organize something like this if you wish to do so in your community to help those who need it. Gather first individuals who have the same intentions you have and create an initial group so you can start the plan. You can ask for help from the local church as well and their members might be willing to join you in your cause.

Look for a place large enough where the meals can be served and a lot of people can come in to eat them. Local churches are also another great option if they have a big area that can accommodate your need. If they do not have one, you can try approaching the local public school if their gyms can be used for these purposes.

After finding a place for this then start deciding on what meals to serve. It would be easier for you if you would cook something that a lot of people can eat. Healthy foods are the better choice with other options for those unable to eat particular type of food.

Call on more volunteers and assigned tasks to everyone on what they will be doing. This is usually divided between the cooks and servers but they can still help each other whenever possible. Set the schedule of this meal and announce it for the people to know.
