Table in Silver Spring, Md. Shepherd's
Table strives to improve quality of life, create a pathway towards self-sufficiency, and inspire hope for those experiencing food insecurity, homelessness, and poverty. At the core of their mission is their meal service program, which includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner during the week and brunch and dinner on the weekends. Since the organization was founded in 1983, they have provided more than 117,000 meals every year without missing a single day. Baking pans, ingredients and recipes will be provided.
