Open Table invites you to create a holiday gift bag of 12 different items for either a local family and/or a senior who may be struggling this year. Past donors have said:

• “Our family is excited to help out this year and we hope our participation will become a new holiday tradition.”
• “This is a great way for people to contribute. Thank you for letting us help.”
• “Thank you for the opportunity to share my good fortune.”
• “Love this project – looking forward to it!”
• “Thank you! This is the most meaningful activity my family does during the holidays!” 

You will be provided with a list of suggested items to fill the gift bag. We will send reminders and other information on each day from the 1st through 12th of December. Reminders will show up in your email inbox and will be posted here and on social media. Please make sure all gift items remain without gift wrap; this will allow us to more easily give the bag to an appropriate individual or family.

Gift bags will be collected:

• Friday, December 12 from 4-6pm at Crosby’s Market (211 Sudbury Road, Concord)
• Saturday, December 13 from 10am-1pm at Open Table (33 Main Street, Maynard)

Clients will receive gift bags with their final food distribution of 2025.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make the holidays more meaningful not only for the families who rely on Open Table, but for your family, too!
