In October 2025, Common Table received a generous donation from an anonymous donor who was responding to the potential loss of SNAP benefits. Economic pressures continue to increase on those in our community who depend on assistance to meet their basic needs.
As of March 2026, Common Table has distributed over $15,000 worth of aid to Cape-based organizations who provide food assistance throughout the Cape community. Common Table plans to continue supporting these partners through ongoing fundraising efforts.
