Volunteer at the Abundant Harvest Table!

Counts for Social Justice Challenge Hours on Sundays in October!

The Abundant Harvest Table is powered by a small group of dedicated folks, many in their 70s, who do a lot to keep it going. If you’re able, signing up is a simple way to share the load and support the people who support all of us. If you're unable to volunteer, you can also help by making a donation, which supports our homeless ministries. Click here to donate to the Harvest Table.
