💚 Small acts of kindness can make a big impact. We’re so grateful for this incredible group of young community members who chose to make food insecurity the focus of their summer service project. 🥕✨ Through the @trianglebahaiinstitute Institute’s youth program, these students went door to door collecting food donations to support neighbors facing hunger and brought those donations to TABLE. A special shoutout to TABLE intern Bailey for welcoming these young changemakers and helping them see the impact their generosity can have in our community. We’re so thankful for the next generation of leaders who are stepping up to serve and make a difference. 💚 Thank you for helping us nourish children and families across Orange County! #CommunityPartners #YouthLeadership #ServiceLearning #TABLENC #FoodAccess

💙 What does TABLE do when we’re closed for the week? A LOT! Our team is taking a break from our regular schedule this week, but there’s still plenty happening behind the scenes! We asked our staff what they’ve been working on, and the answers show just how many moving pieces go into making TABLE happen. 🌱 From preparing for Empty Bowls, ordering snacks, and organizing our nonperishable food inventory to working on family communications, planning upcoming programs, and so much more, every member of our team plays an important role in keeping TABLE moving forward. We’re so proud of our team and all the work they do to support local kids and families. This video is just a little peek behind the scenes! 👀 We’re excited to get back to our regular schedule next Tuesday, September 8, and we’d love for you to stop by and meet our team! Thank you for being part of the TABLE community. We’re so grateful for you! 💙 inspired by @scrapexchange 💪 #tablenc #feedinglocalkids #communitysupport #feedlocalkids #healthykids

🍲 Meet the restaurants behind TABLE’s 14th Annual Empty Bowls fundraiser! We’re so excited to spotlight @tandem.carrboro and @longleafswinebbq, two local restaurants joining us this year to help raise funds for local kids. 💛 @tandem.carrboro is celebrating their 4th year with Empty Bowls! Owner Emma Dunbar shared, “We believe every child deserves to have access to healthy, nourishing food.” Tandem’s team is looking forward to sharing good food, celebrating TABLE, and being part of something bigger than themselves. 🔥@longleafswinebbq is joining Empty Bowls as they prepare to open their new Carrboro location, right next door to TABLE! Owner Adam Cunningham shared, “We're in the business of feeding people, and it's hard to accept that a kid a few blocks away might go home to an empty fridge. TABLE fills that gap directly and consistently, which is exactly the kind of work we want to put our name behind. If a child eats well, everything else in their week gets a little easier.” We’re grateful for partnerships like these that bring our community together around a shared goal: making sure local kids have access to healthy, nourishing food. Come celebrate with us on Sunday, October 4 at Carrboro Town Commons! Enjoy delicious soup, freshly baked bread, cookies, live music, and choose your own beautifully handcrafted bowl from a local artist. 🎟️ Tickets are going fast! Get yours through the link in our bio or visit: donate.tablenc.org/14thEmptyBowlsFundraiser

🌶️ September produce spotlight featuring TABLE nutrition interns Prachi & Nandini! This month, TABLE families are getting to try two peppers you might not see every day: shishito peppers and Jimmy Nardello peppers! Shishito peppers are small, sweet, and usually mild. Fun fact: about 1 in 10 can pack a little heat! Try blistering them in a hot skillet with a little oil, then topping them with salt and lemon juice. You can also enjoy them raw, sliced into a salad, or with your favorite dip. Jimmy Nardello peppers are long, red, and known for their sweet, smoky, buttery flavor. They’re not spicy, making them an easy one to try raw, in a salad, or blistered in a skillet with a little salt. We love helping kids discover new fruits and vegetables and giving families the chance to try foods they may not have had before. 💚 Have you tried either of these peppers before? 🌶️

⭐ GOLD-STARs all-around to our UHH-MAZING summer interns! ⭐ We’re so grateful for all the hard work, energy, and care you brought to TABLE this summer! 🩵 You’ve been such an important part of our team, helping us keep things running and supporting our families every step of the way. A special shoutout to Leah, Likitha, and Loretta for all the work you put into our programs this summer! 👏 And to our high school interns, thank you for stocking, sorting, answering phone calls, checking families out, and jumping in wherever you were needed. You’ve accomplished so much! We hope you had a wonderful summer with us, and we’re so glad you were part of the TABLE team. 🌱

💚 Celebrating our Fresh Food Shift Leaders! Our Fresh Food Shift Leaders are an essential part of TABLE’s mission. Each week, they help create a welcoming Marketplace experience and ensure children and families across Orange County have access to fresh, healthy food. Today, we’re celebrating Gerald O. and Irene Y. and their commitment to serving our community. For Gerald, TABLE’s mission is meaningful because he believes in the importance of supporting local children and being part of an organization that is making a difference right here in the community. He loves knowing that his time helps provide fresh food to families in the area. For Irene, access to fresh, nutritious food is something she deeply values. Growing up, her parents prioritized healthy eating and making sure their family had access to fresh foods. She hopes to help create that same access for others and share the importance of nutrition and healthy living. Both Gerald and Irene are passionate about helping others and are beginning exciting journeys in the medical field. We’re so grateful they choose to share their time, energy, and compassion with TABLE. Thank you, Gerald and Irene, for being such an important part of our community! 🥕✨ #VolunteerSpotlight #CommunityPartners #FoodAccess #TABLENC
