Table of Plenty HMB

Table of Plenty provides a weekly supper for the hungry and isolated in Half Moon Bay and on the Coastside. Marking its 10th anniversary in 2022, Table of Plenty has served more than 100,000 meals to families, seniors, and people without homes since its founding. Table of Plenty provides a warm, satisfying meal each week, served to our guests in restaurant-style accompanied by live music.  This generous hospitality affirms the dignity of each person, fosters community engagement, and promotes volunteerism. Our volunteers, who range in age from 12 to 80+ years, cook and serve dinner every Thursday evening -- 52 weeks a year -- and each dinner serves more than 150 neighbors in our community. Our volunteers work together, bringing smiles, warmth, and kindness to each guest, many of whom hunger for more than food.

In 2022, Sister Jeanette Braun, SNDdeN, founding director and Clyde Beffa, Jr., co-founder of the Table of Plenty, received the Jefferson Award for Public Service, and Table of Plenty received the 100+ Women Who Care Coastside donation award. In 2018, Sister Jeanette received the 2018 Rotary of Half Moon Bay “Service Above Self Award."
