No one expects to need help feeding their family. But a sudden job loss, a health crisis, or an aging parent who needs care can quickly deplete a family’s resources. These are circumstances that often lead people to Open Table.
“I never thought I would be in this situation, but I also never thought there could be such grace in a delivery of food.” — Catherine
Your donation helps people like Catherine. After years of serving others as a nurse, she began experiencing serious health problems and was laid off. Now Catherine lives with a disability and has meager financial resources. She has two daughters to care for and no transportation. Catherine struggled to get enough food to sustain her family; fortunately, she found Open Table. The food deliveries became a lifeline for Catherine, giving her family the fresh and healthy food they needed, and now her health is improving.

Meet Our Guest Denise
At Open Table, we are committed to respecting the privacy of our guests. Occasionally, a client chooses to share their story, allowing us to highlight the real-life impact of our work and your support. We are grateful for the chance to share these stories and to honor the strength and resilience of those we serve.
Let us introduce you to Denise. Last year Denise turned to Open Table when rising bills left her struggling to afford food. “I wasn’t able to get much from the stores. I get $23 in food stamps.” She is in her seventies and concerned with health conditions.
Denise discovered she could order healthy meals and groceries from Open Table and have them delivered right to her door. “Someone calls me on Fridays, goes through what’s available and I can choose. The people who deliver are wonderful. I really look forward to it, especially their Senior lunch. I love Open Table.”
As Denise got older, she wanted to eat healthier, and thought the Mediterranean diet would be a good fit, but she didn’t have the resources to get started. Then she received her delivery from Open Table, filled with fresh vegetables, and she got inspired.
“I’m 72 and just learning to cook!
When I started receiving food from Open Table, I went online and got a recipe. And then I started to cook an omelet, adding peppers, onions. It was delicious. I learned how to sauté vegetables to have with meat.”
There are days when Denise’s health makes it impossible to stand at the stove to cook. For those days, she depends on meals from the Open Table kitchen. “I put a prepared meal in the microwave, sit down and eat it. Delicious and healthy. I feel good about it because I know where it was made and what’s in it with all the ingredients on the label.”
Like many seniors, Denise is concerned about her health. Eating a proper diet is important to her, but budget and transportation constraints make it a challenge. With support from Open Table’s delivery program, she has been able to eat better and see her health improve.
Open Table clients are able to order foods to meet their personal nutritional needs, including heart-healthy meals, gluten-free foods, and low sugar options. “Now when I eat, my blood sugars stay below 200. Eating correctly really helps. I have more energy.”
With your support, we provide groceries to over 400 families each week and prepare and distribute more than 6,600 meals every month. Together, we’re making a difference for neighbors like Denise. Donate today to help us continue this vital work, and let’s Build a Future with Less Hunger.
Thank you for your support – together we can alleviate hunger in our community!
