Sally is bringing her decorated cookies and other delicacies tonight - the guests are alway eager to see what this week’s theme will be.

Today's volunteer crew includes Kyle Green (weekend cook); Elijah (cook's helper); Dean (cook's helper); Judy/ESA Group (2 servers & 2 bussers); Meredith (dishwasher); and Kehl (dishwasher).

Today's group is a combination of regular volunteers and new ones. We are grateful for both. The consistency provided by regular volunteers is reassuring for us and our guests. However, new faces means coming to the meal is like a new experience all over again.🙂

New guests, new volunteers. Regular guests, regular volunteers. That's what Common Table is all about. Everyone welcome. No questions asked.

Door #6 is a little hidden. Here is a map showing you where to find it.

Doors open at 5:30pm. Dinner served at 6pm. Doors close at 7pm.

Always a good idea to arrive before 6:30pm to ensure you get a meal. We try not to run out of food, but sometimes it happens. However, we're always willing to make you a sandwich if we've run out of the day's meal.

Our volunteer crew tonight includes Jennifer (weekend cook); Elijah (cook's helper); Andrew (cook's helper); George (server); Kyler (server); Junior (busser); Miles (busser); Phillip (dishwasher); and Meredith (dishwasher).

These ten people will ensure a delicious, hot meal is served to everyone who enters the door, no questions asked. They will also ensure that the dining room and kitchen are cleaned up and organized so we can do it all again tomorrow with a different crew of ten.

Every day. Three hundred and sixty five days a year. Everyone welcome. No questions asked.
