Rachel's Table
Rachel Table's mission is to end hunger in greater Worcester and to reduce the waste of nourishing food.
Description:
Rachel's Table is a volunteer based group that transports unserved and unsold prepared and perishable foods that otherwise would be wasted. This "excess" food is distributed to shelters, soup kitchens, and neighborhood centers that serve our needy Worcester neighbors. In addition to ongoing food donations, every week fresh milk is purchased and delivered to agencies serving 4,000 hungry city children through the Rachel's Table's Children's Milk Fund.
History:
Rachel's Table was started in 1989 and has grown to a volunteer base of over 90 people. Rachel's Table last year distributed more than 650 thousand pounds of food to more than 45 agencies in Worcester.
