This Place.

"This place is a wonderful asset for the Southside. They feed the hungry and fill your heart with the word of the Lord. And you get to meet people, and just maybe you can help them, too."
                     - Barbara, Table Regular

You Hungry?

Some come for the food.
Some come for the community.
Some come to get out of the rain.
Some come for the coffee.
Some come to help others.
Some come to find hope.
Some come just to talk to someone face to face.


Once a woman came up to me and said, "I feel bad coming here; I'm not poor. I'm not homeless. I have food in my fridge."

I told her, "We are all hungry for something."

Come and have your fill.

A Safe Place.


This video about The Table was recently featured at Unbound: An Interactive Journal of Christian Social Justice. It features Jenn and Jack sharing about the community that has grown up around The Table. It was shot and edited by Justin Nixon and the soundtrack is "Broken Down" by The United Harvest Workers Union.

You Are Welcome Here.

"To feed others means acknowledging our own hunger and at the same time acknowledging the amazing abundance we're fed with by God." --Sara Miles, Take This Bread

 

THE TABLE is a community kitchen with a heart to serve the South Side. No ID or check-in are required. Just come as you are. We serve a free, hot meal from 5:30 to 6:30pm every Tuesday and Thursday. Everyone is welcome.
Meals are provided by various volunteer groups and churches from the Pittsburgh area and are served at the Hot Metal Bridge Faith Community.
