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.

The volunteers serving are all wearing a uniform with a smile in serving those who are eating inside the dinner hall. Tables have linen covering them and decorated with flowers at the center with beautiful background music playing. The ambiance is that of a high class restaurant which most of those present are not able to experience in their life.

You can be part of this as a volunteer as well by just approaching the one in charge and telling them of your wish to do so. This is a very great activity for your children to do as most of them like the experience they had. Both children and adults alike will become more aware of the need of the unfortunate members of the community.

You can also organize something like this if you wish to do so in your community to help those who need it. Gather first individuals who have the same intentions you have and create an initial group so you can start the plan. You can ask for help from the local church as well and their members might be willing to join you in your cause.

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.
