Since the pandemic began, TABLE is feeding children in Orange County by delivering bags of food directly to their doorsteps. Currently, we are feeding more than 700 kids each week. Our weekly bags are filled with 10 nutritious meals and snacks, juice and/or milk, and fresh produce such as apples, potatoes, squash, carrots, zucchini, and tomatoes.
Food Assistance
If your children are in need of food assistance, you can sign up to receive food from TABLE by completing this online form or you can download this form and submit it by mail to 209 E. Main St., Carrboro, NC 27510 . You can also email us at info@table.wisdomwebdev.com. Once we receive your permission form, we will review your address to determine if we are able to deliver to your home and we will contact you with next steps.
