Giving Tuesday, an international day of generosity; and YOU can make a positive local impact by making a gift to Open Table.
Because of a Challenge Match of $5,000 from Cambridge Savings Charitable Foundation, your donation on Giving Tuesday will have DOUBLE the impact – it will provide twice as many groceries, prepare twice as many meals, and help twice as many families!
Donate online HERE. (https://www.opentable.org/give-gt)
Please note “GivingTuesday” on any checks or fund transfers, and mail to Open Table, PO Box 42, Concord MA 01742.
If you are on Facebook, consider donating via our Facebook Fundraiser (need to provide a link when we create – or maybe just don’t mention FB?) – Facebook charges no fees.
We are so grateful for the many organizations and individuals in our community who host food drives for Open Table. Food drives not only generate food, they also generate awareness of the terrible problem of hunger in our communities. Hosting a food drive can be easy and fun, and it is a great project for a club, scout troop, school, business, or neighborhood to do together. There are four simple steps: plan, promote, collect, and deliver. Read more details here!
