Things You Need To Know About Table Of Plenty

By Donald Perry


There are many organizations that are trying to help the community in any way they can. These usually comes in the form of voluntary work where they serve dinner, build housing and other things that can assist those in need. These groups are able to do this with the help of others who donate their money and time to their 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.

Food preparation is done by the volunteers with donations coming from others in the form of ingredients or finances. Ingredients that they use in cooking sometimes came from homegrown plants in gardens of people from the community. The meat sometimes even came from animals raised by them and other organizations lending their assistance.

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.

Look for a place large enough where the meals can be served and a lot of people can come in to eat them. Local churches are also another great option if they have a big area that can accommodate your need. If they do not have one, you can try approaching the local public school if their gyms can be used for these purposes.

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 each volunteers their main responsibility like cooking or serving. They could help each other though when it is needed. Set the date of the dinner and invite everyone to come in and eat in there.
