For families
Give monthly
$30 a month keeps a family's shelf full.
Monthly gifts let us buy fresh food in bulk and plan the season. 94 cents of every dollar goes straight to the table.
Neighbors feeding neighbors since 2009
Everyone deserves a seat at the table.
Common Table runs a free grocery pantry, weekly community meals, and a two-acre garden on the Northside. Come hungry, come to help, or just come say hello.

What we do
A pantry that feels like a neighbor's kitchen.
We stock what families ask for, not what's easy to store. Volunteers greet you by name, help you shop, and send you home with a recipe for whatever's in season.
