Food for body, mind, and spirit!

The Good Table Café + The Good Table United Church of Christ + Planting Justice Nursery will:

• 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

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

• Commit to act as stewards of the earth - by encouraging the community to live “seed to table” and caring for the environment in every aspect of life

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. If you’d like to become a “cafe regular” and donate monthly, click below.

Hey Good Table Mates,

The day has finally come. After all these years of dreaming, planning, and building, we will OPEN The Good Table Cafe tomorrow, Nov. 22, 9a - 4p and Sun. Nov. 23, 9a-4p. Please stop by for a fabulous cup of coffee roasted by Proyecto Diaz off our ModBar AV espresso machine (donated by Salesforce) or a lovely cup of tea from Sol Y Luna. While we won't have our full menu yet, we will have yummy baked goods from Acme, Boichik bagels, and Deirdre Davis of Pinoli Farmhouse Kitchen is making specialty items plus a delicious spread for the bread. 

As many of you know, The Good Table Cafe is a secular nonprofit founded on behalf of The Good Table United Church of Christ with initial funding from the church. So, you are also invited to the church's Sunday Gathering with music, prayer, and preaching at 10:30a in the Gathering Space. We call ourselves the church of Yes. . . And.  That means you can come as you are (no dress code and no dogma required) to be part of an intimate spiritual community that is interactive, real, and genuinely open and affirming. As we say at every service, "no matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome and beloved among us." Wanna get a taste in advance? check out Melinda's messages on youtube.

Next week, our holiday hours will be: Sat-Sun, 9a - 4p. On Wed, Dec. 3rd, we'll begin our regular schedule and will be open Wed-Fri, 8a-6p and Sat-Sun, 9a-4p with a menu that also includes fabulous salads and sandwiches from The El Cerrito Natural Grocery and more!

While Planting Justice Nursery and Farmstore isn't quite ready to open yet, their Farmer's Market continues on Sun. 10a-2p and they will be hosting a Holiday Night Market on Sat. Dec. 13th at 5p. And do check out all the offerings at The Shed too! There is a LOT happening at the site!

Then SAVE the DATE for our GRAND OPENING on Sat. Dec. 20th at 12n.

See you soon at The Good Table!

Come and See All the Things We’re Up to!
