"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed my head with oil; my cup overflows. Certainly goodness and faithfulness will follow me all the days of my life, and my dwelling will be in the house of the Lord forever." Psalm 23:5-6
Our Mission
Where food brings people together. To feed the hungry, physically and relationally by providing community gatherings in which food, friendship and neighborly love will be shared by all.
Our Vision
To provide an atmosphere in which our community members can come together to serve one another and experience the love and support of the people around them, building stronger relationships and healthier lives.
As residents and active members of the Elk River and surrounding communities, we see there are many people who are food insecure. Many of these families are living paycheck to paycheck and are struggling to meet their individual and family food needs. We see how a lack of food causes stress in the family leading to physical and emotional issues on top of their basic needs not being met. As a group of Jesus followers, we feel called to work with our community members and local businesses to provide a meal to families and individuals experiencing food insecurity.

Our Why
In the world today, people are hungry for real relationships. Community Table is a local non-profit in the Elk River, MN area with a passion to feed the community physically and relationally with a once-a-month meal and social gathering. After a decade of technology and social media becoming the conduit for human connection, society, by and large, is starving for personal interaction and a desire to experience community.
As human beings, we were designed for relationships. We need each other. But through a slow decline of social interactions and an ever-increasing busyness in our modern-day lives, people are experiencing devastating levels of depression, anxiety, broken families, and a lack of mentoring relationships; causing the general public to feel alone and disconnected. At Community Table, we believe that by coming together to serve one another and interact with those from our local businesses, churches, other non-profits, and school organizations, we can begin to establish a network of support and community that will promote healthy and thriving individuals and families. No other mental health intervention is as healing and nurturing to the soul as serving and loving one another. It’s time to restore a deep and bonding unity within the human race, and it begins in our local community. Join us, every 4th Sunday of the month for food, friendship, and neighborly love.
