Hello, thank you for stopping by our donation page!
Table 7three is a family-operated / volunteer based food ministry that provides no-cost meals to those experiencing homelessness or food insecurity in NWA. Our mission is to reflect the love of Christ by providing free meals to the homeless community in NWA.
What does family operated / volunteer based mean? Table 7three was created by Dr. R. Bryan and Amanda Benafield and have provided the majority of funding for the ministry. Volunteer based means that we operate solely on the work of volunteers, no one is on salary for Table 7three. Therefore all of the money donated goes directly to our goal of providing restaurant quality food to those who need it most.
Why did you start Table 7three? The Benafield's first felt the call to help the homeless community through the ministry of their former church. There they also learned the value of sharing a meal with others and how meaningful that fellowship is. God laid the idea of providing food to those struggling with homelessness as a way to nourish them physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Why an airstream food trailer? Our desire has always been to take the food to the people in need. We wanted to go to where they are and serve them. After exploring many options, a food trailer made the most sense.
When do we serve? We are currently serving dinner every other Saturday, in Fayetteville. We prepare 200 servings at the Genesis Church. The hot meal is then taken (via catering containers) to Walker Park where we serve the food out of our airstream food trailer, "Tabitha".
What is your menu? We have a rotating menu that was created by Chef Adam Simmons. It was designed to be pleasing to the palate as well as meeting the nutritional needs of those we serve in mind. We are proud of the food we distribute and our patrons are always very complimentary.
What are your future goals? We would love to be able to expand our footprint and increase the frequency of our meal services. In order to accomplish this goal, we need to raise funds for additional services cost and expand our volunteer base.
Do you provide any other outreach programs? Yes! Using knowledge gained through our patrons at dinner we put together Kindness Kits. The kits are thoughtfully made and include basic care kits (including socks and body wipes), protein snacks, and local resource guides.
How can you help? A financial contribution to Table 7three helps us continue our mission of providing free meals to the local homeless community. Our dream is to obtain a commercial kitchen space so we can cook more frequently. We would also love the space to be used by other food ministries / nonprofits so meals are accessible to those in need. Not able to make a monetary donation, but still want to help? Volunteer with us! We would love to have you!
