Nourishment for body, mind, and spirit!

The Good Table Café & Community Gathering Space, with the Planting Justice Organic Nursery will:

• Reduce food insecurity - by offering healthy food and coffee, regardless of means or ability to pay

• Decrease social isolation - by hosting a welcoming place for all to gather with dignity

• Foster spiritual growth - with affirming church services, ceremonies, and interfaith gatherings

• Celebrate ethical living - by creating strong community connections between diverse peoples

• Commit to act as stewards of the earth - by opting for environmentally conscious building decisions whenever possible during the renovation, and modeling sustainable business practices

We’re delighted to receive your tax-deductible contributions in any amount and would appreciate introductions to other individual donors and/or foundations that would be interested in our project.

Dear Good Table Mates,

Thanks everyone for joining us on Juneteenth! It was lovely to eat good food, listen to music, and hang out on the big patios.

We’re getting closer to opening The Good Table Cafe and Planting Justice Nursery, but sadly, we still don’t have a date due to various issues including when PG&E will turn on the power.

For those of you who have been to the site, you may have noticed that we are doing many things in “El Sobrante” style - as in, we’re turning “leftovers” into useful and beautiful things. We’ve got chairs scrounged from everywhere and beautiful tables made from salvaged sequoia by local architect and artist Darrel DeBoer. The wood walls in the Farmstore had a previous life as bleachers for Castlemont High School. Even our espresso machine was rescued from a closet in the Salesforce tower! We still need some things that we’d rather not buy, so if you can help with our scrounge list/gift registry, send Melinda a note and ask for the current list.

We’re also happy to welcome you each last Saturday between 12-3p for our Community Work + Fun Day. Come get a tour or bring your work gloves to help weed and/or clean.

See you soon! Melinda

Come and See What We’re Up to!
