Hi All:

Common Table is BACK!

We are operating under a new model as we are no longer functioning in pandemic mode.

Thankfully, we recently received a generous donation and the donor expressed a desire to get food to those in need, and those impacted by disappearing SNAP benefits, as quickly and efficiently as possible.

We have applied to Stop & Shop to be eligible to make bulk purchases of gift cards, but have already provided some gift cards to several food related charities in our community.

We will continue to coordinate with other community resources to reach those in need.

Common Table received wonderful support from our community in the past and we thank everyone for that support.

If you wish to donate to Common Table, we will be providing a PayPal link shortly.

In the meantime, checks can be mailed to Common Table, Inc
P.O. Box 1505
Wellfleet MA

We are a non profit public charity [501 (c)(3)] and will mail or email a receipt.

Again, thank you and huge thanks to our donor!

A message from Bruce:

SNAP, Crisis, Common Table and Help On The Way:

Of course, it seems as if there is crisis everywhere today. Government chaos, cruelty, weather chaos...it's enough to make you question your sanity. But, as I often say, good people more often than not, come to the rescue. And we see this in Wellfleet all the time.

I'm very pleased to say that as the result of an incredibly kind, gracious and compassionate donor, Common Table will be implementing a food assistance program in the coming days and weeks. We anticipate that the program will include up to 200 Stop & Shop food cards (and, it turns out that purchasing this many food cards from S&S is a process in and of itself) that will be available to those in need and will be distributed at select locations; for example the Wellfleet Food Pantry and the Elementary School.

We will be working with Stop & Shop in the next few days to purchase the cards and will then work with other local organizations to determine where the cards can be picked up. So, keep an eye out for further news as we put together this program.

And, of course, in the days ahead, please consider what you can do to help our good friends and neighbors with connections to Jamaica. They desperately need our help.

Again; thank you, thank you to our donor and please keep those in need in your thoughts!

A crosspost by Bruce A. Bierhans from the Wellfleet Community Space page:

Remember Common Table?

Hello Wellfleet: I've written frequently about the importance of the non profit social services network in light of budget cuts that haven't really hit yet, but assuredly will start to hit folks in the near future. Health care, food insecurity, clothing, mental health care, and on and on.

I indicated recently that Trudy and I have kept Common Table alive knowing that we might be able to address community needs going forward. It doesn't need to be a pandemic, but simply a need arising out of crisis. Although we served over 22,000 free meals during the pandemic, we can serve in other ways based upon need. Collaborating with other local non profits is another way that we can help. We intend to speak shortly with a local pastor about a possible venue for events.

There are so many possibilities. As we go into the fall, if anyone has any ideas about ways that Common Table can help, we're welcoming those ideas. My email is [email protected].

Wellfleet always takes care of it's own. We're here to help. Take care! — Bruce Bierhans with Trudy Vermehren.
