the wandering table

here’s where to catch us this week! posting a little late as we’re still trying to recover from our busiest week of the year (last week); so if you’re still waiting on a response from me, i promise it’s coming! my brain is just a little 😅😳🤯🫠 at the moment

there was a change or two due to rescheduled events from the tornado, but the posted schedule here is our accurate one. and as always, check socials for any weather related updates throughout the week! see you soon! 👋🏼

weeeelllllll, we might be just a little late posting this 😬🫣 it has been a very busy start to the week for us with private events! most of our events this week are private, but we do still have a few very fun opportunities to come see us! ☀️

>

a few notes :
• most events are our typical events we are at!
• friday morning / lunch — this will be one where we are back in menasha serving up free meals to the crews & volunteers, and anyone who needs it! we will also have Mile 22 Coffee joining us in the morning!
• friday night (car show Integrity Automotive Diagnostics & Repair) & saturday night (tornado relief event The Hive Aesthetics , with other vendors too!) — both of these events will be accepting physical donations. a few details :
— for everyone who brings donations of school supplies, you will receive a ticket / token to receive a free side with purchase from us!
* for example : if you bring in $20 worth of school supplies to either event, you will get a ticket to receive free fries or curds with your purchase from us!
— you will receive a ticket for EVERY $20 donation value — so the more you donate, the more you can get from us! we will even let you combine your free sides to get you a free crunchwrap or something 👀

come on out this weekend & continue to help support those affected by the tornado ✨let’s make a difference together!

we hope to see you out there this week! let’s make it a great one 🤝🏼

what a week last week was. we wanted to give everyone a little recap of what our week looked like while we were in menasha, as well as showing what your donations and support helped us with!

we were out every day serving free meals to everyone affected by the storm, along with all linemen, utility crews, volunteers, firefighters, first responders, etc.
• we served over 3,000 meals to people from tuesday — saturday 🤯
• we went through over 200 pounds of pulled pork
• we bought over 400 burgers (100 pounds of beef) and don’t have any left
• we served over 300 pounds of fries
• and went through hundreds of bags of chips, granola bars, gatorade, soda, uncrustables, hot dogs, and so much more

we would not have been able to do that without the help of each donation we received — from personal donations, to some amazing local businesses and their donations! special thanks to these generous donors :

Wisconsin Dance and Cheer — thank you sarah for your help each and every day while we were out there!
The Bar - Oshkosh — thank you jamie for keeping us stocked with pulled pork and helping us out — the linemen really loved the pork 😂
Grainworks Old + New: Local Bourbon Market -- thank you for the generous donation to help feed so many people!
OH SNAP Pickles — the pickle pouches were a HUGE hit!!
Doughlicious — who doesn’t love cookie dough?!
The Grounds Guys of Appleton and Oshkosh — out there helping people with cleanup, and helping us to feed the community
and so many individual donations!!

thank you doesn’t cover our gratitude for our amazing community and their support to help us support the community the way we know how : making food and serving meals. we have some awesome events coming up this weekend to continue to help serve the community by accepting physical donations and serving up meals. we will post about that soon!

thank you, thank you, thank you 🫶🏼 we will get through this, together, as a community ✨

🚨 U P D A T E 🚨

due to the heat, we are unfortunately going to have to cancel our time at the farmers market on broadway. at our lunch today it was over 130° in the truck, and our freezers and coolers just can’t keep up. we don’t want to risk food quality and the safety of our staff with being outside for another 5+ hours in this heat.

we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause 🩶 we hate to cancel events, but we just have to do what’s the safest option tonight! we will be back out there tomorrow — hope to see you then!! ✌🏼
