Our story
It started with one pot of chili.
Common Table began as a Thursday dinner for eleven people in a church basement. Today it's a pantry, a garden, a kitchen, and a market stand, all run by the neighbors who use them.
The next week there were twenty-two people. By winter, a restaurant that was closing gave us its range, and the Thursday dinner became a real kitchen with a real schedule.
What we do
Three ways we feed the Northside.
Each one is free, run by neighbors, and open to anyone who walks through the door.
