The Downtown Welcome Table is a restaurant style meal where everyone is welcome to the table to experience a dignifying, abundant meal served on East Fork Pottery with freshly rolled linens and silverware.
When you come to serve at Haywood Street you are invited to be a Companion rather than a volunteer. You are invited to "be with" before you "do for." As a companion you can serve as a table server, you can work in our kitchen preparing plates, help clean the dishes in the dish-room or simply sit down and enjoy a meal with a neighbor.
Lunch on Wednesdays is served from 10am-12:30pm. Companions are needed from 8am-2:30pm.
Must be 18+
