How To Help During Hte Holidays

Helping During the Holidays

We receive numerous requests from people eager to make a positive impact during the holiday season. Here are a variety of ways you can support OpenTable’s mission and raise awareness about food insecurity in our local community.

Donate Food

Did you know that half of our support comes from in-kind food donations? These contributions are essential to keeping our programs running. With holiday baking in full-swing, we have an increased need for 4 or 5lb bags of sugar. Check our website for other needed items and convenient drop-off locations.

Build a Future with Less Hunger

Donate to our Annual Appeal

Your support is more crucial than ever. This year, our pantry visits have surged by 32%, and requests for prepared meals are up by 47%. We need your help to meet this rising need. Build a Future with Less Hunger by donating today..
