Things You Need To Know About Table Of Plenty

By Donald Perry


There are a lot of groups that tries to help their community in every way possible. These are usually voluntary works organized by concerned citizens such as serving dinner, building houses and other ways that could assist those who need it. These groups can do these things with the assistance from others through donations in the form of money, in kind or time for this united vision.

Free dinners are the usual form that these voluntary works take for those which are experiencing hardships in their community. Table of Plenty HMB is an organization which serves free dinner every week on Thursday nights. They serve people who are experiencing financial struggles, job loss, are homeless, elderly and all those that need it in Half Moon Bay, CA and surrounding areas.

The food is prepared and cooked by volunteers coming from the donations received either in financial form or in kind. Ingredients used for their food are sometimes homegrown from the gardens of those living in the community. The meat are even from animals that are raised by these good citizens with other organizations helping as well.

Their volunteers all wear a uniform and a happy smile while serving the people eating in the dinner hall. The tables are covered with clothe and flowers decorated its center with beautiful music playing in the background. It has the ambiance of a classy restaurant that most of them might not have experienced or may never will.

You could become a volunteer and be part of this just by approaching the ones in charge with organizing this and mentioning your intentions to them. Individuals in all ages are accepted to help there with children gaining the most from this experience. They, along with the adults would have the awareness about those unfortunate members in their community and their needs.

If you wish to organize one in your own community something like this, you can do so and help those around you. First, you must gather like minded individuals that have similar intentions as you and create your own group to start the planning. Approaching the local church would also help you get more assistance from its members in your new mission.

Then, search for a large enough place that can hold many people who will be eating the meals you would be serving. There is a chance that your local church would have a place big enough for this need and ask them if you could use it. If there is no available space there then try asking the public school in your community if their gym is available for use.

After you have found a place for your mission then it is now time to decide what meals are to be served. Foods that can be cooked easily in large batches are a good choice where many servings can be served simultaneously. It is important to have healthy food as well and some options for others.

Assigned tasks for each volunteers on what their main responsibility is. They either would be assigned in cooking or in serving but helping each other when needed is possible. Schedule the date of this dinner and call for people to eat in there.
