Our Community Table - FL - Martin County

Ministry in Martin County - Helping others in our community by providing meals to those in need Lucie Counties. Lucie County in September 2025.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about what Our Community Table is doing in our local community and beyond. Our Community Table is a faith-based ministry uniting churches and the community to serve those in need. What began on April 10, 2020, has grown into a well-recognized ministry focused on helping local families facing food insecurity. We believe that no one should ever have to go

without a meal — not on a Saturday, nor any other day of the week. Through the dedication of our volunteers and partners, Our Community Table now serves more than 2,100 hot meals every Saturday in Martin County and has provided over 425,000 meals to date. As the need continues to grow, God has opened new doors for expansion. We are now serving families in Okeechobee County, where we provide over 600 meals weekly, and have recently launched efforts in St. Lucie County, where meals are already being distributed to those in need. To deepen our impact, we launched the End Hunger Campaign, an initiative designed to raise awareness about the hidden reality of food poverty in our region and inspire action among local residents, churches, and businesses. Our goal is simple yet profound — to End Hunger, beginning right here at home in Martin, Okeechobee, and St. Ministry Vision:

Our vision is to expand the ministry to ensure that no one ever has to go without a meal. We have grown to 12 active stations throughout Martin County — serving the communities of Stuart, Hobe Sound, and Indiantown — where we feed both the body and soul of those in need. God continues to open doors for expansion beyond Martin County. We launched our first station in Okeechobee County in June 2025 and expanded into St. Internationally, we are celebrating our fourth year of ministry in Colombia, South America, where we work closely with our missionary partners to serve families in need. It’s exciting to see how the Lord is working through the hands and hearts of so many faithful volunteers and supporters. Our goal — our vision — is clear: to End Hunger, beginning with Martin County! Future Expansion Plans

Establish our own facility to serve as a permanent home base for ministry operations

Provide clothing through Our Community Closet

Launch and operate a Mobile Food Pantry to reach those without transportation

Purchase vans for efficient food transport between stations

Continue to build and equip our Disaster Relief Team

Offer assistance and resources for unforeseen community relief needs

Create meeting spaces and counseling rooms for individuals and families

Facilitate small group Bible studies to help people grow in their faith and deepen their understanding of God’s Word

Host catering and community events to raise awareness and support

Collaborate with other nonprofits to strengthen community impact and extend resources to those in need

Ministry Growth:

What began with just 124 meals on our very first Saturday has now grown into a thriving ministry serving over 1,900 meals every week. Our team is expanding right alongside our outreach — with more than 600 active volunteers faithfully helping to prepare, package, and deliver meals each weekend. Our volunteers come from all walks of life — from those with physical or mental challenges who serve with joy, to families teaching their young children the importance of compassion and giving back to others. Together, we are living out our mission to serve God by serving others. Ministry Food Costs:

As Our Community Table continues to grow, so do our expenses. The rise in food prices, combined with the addition of new distribution stations and county expansions, has increased our weekly costs. Currently, our combined average food cost ranges between $3,600 and $4,000 per weekend, depending on the menu. We are also navigating ongoing supply challenges and food item shortages, which adds to the difficulty of meeting the growing demand. Even with these challenges, our commitment remains the same — to ensure no one goes without a meal. Ministry Needs:

There are three main ways you can partner with Our Community Table, all centered around Raising Awareness. Raising Awareness for Financial Support
Donations directly support weekly food costs and supply purchases. Every dollar given goes toward operating the ministry — with no salaries or administrative overhead. Raising Awareness for Volunteers
People are the heartbeat of this ministry. We depend on volunteers to sustain, grow, and expand our reach each week. Raising Awareness of Community Need
We need your help to identify individuals and families who are struggling with food insecurity so that we can serve where the need is greatest. The need is great — but so is the heart of this community. Our volunteers, partners, and supporters feel called to do their part in helping those less fortunate. While we continue to grow and expand, our yearly costs will increase, and we humbly ask for your continued prayers, partnership, and financial support. Thank you for your heart and your passion to serve those in need across our local communities. To learn more about Our Community Table, please contact:

What began with one table has grown into a movement—and you are invited to be part of it!

Our Community Table began right here in Martin County in April 2020, when a small group of 15–20 volunteers came together to prepare meals for neighbors who were struggling.

Today, that small beginning has grown into a weekly mission serving thousands of freshly prepared meals through more than 18 distribution locations across Martin, St. Lucie, and Okeechobee counties. Our outreach also extends into Colombia, where families receive meals every week.

Together, our volunteers have helped provide hundreds of thousands of meals—and we believe we are only getting started.

Our vision is simple: End Hunger—starting on a Saturday.

Our Community Table has no salaries and no payroll. We are powered by volunteers who freely give their time, talents, and hearts to serve others.

We are inviting individuals, families, churches, businesses, civic groups, and students to come join us. There are many ways to help:

• Prepare and plate meals
• Cook with our team
• Load and organize food
• Deliver and distribute meals
• Pray with and encourage families
• Invite friends, coworkers, or church members
• Sponsor meals or support the mission

No special experience is needed—just a willing heart and a desire to make a difference.

We are not simply distributing food. We are building relationships, restoring hope, and reminding people throughout our communities that they have not been forgotten.

Come serve with us one Saturday and experience it for yourself. There is a place for you at Our Community Table!

Learn more, volunteer, or support the mission at: ourcommunitytableministries.org or call 478-954-1381.

Please share this post and help us reach others who may want to become part of the vision.

We don’t have to be here—we get to be here.

"He Didn't Expect This..."

He Came to Serve... He Left Changed.

Sometimes it's hard to put into words what happens on a Saturday with Our Community Table.

It's more than preparing meals.

It's more than serving food.

It's about bringing hope, building relationships, and reminding people they are seen, valued, and loved.

Recently, I had the opportunity to spend time with Jason Garrett as we cooked, plated meals, and served families throughout Princeton, Trenton, and Hightstown, New Jersey.

After experiencing it firsthand, Jason shared what impacted him most.

His words are a reminder that when a community comes together with a servant's heart, lives are changed—including our own.

I hope you'll take a few minutes to watch this conversation.

If you've ever wondered why we do what we do every Saturday... this is why.

❤️ Together, we're changing lives.
