A community initiative founded by DeCarla Cruz

Table on Gaston

A longer table for neighbors in need. We're named after the street where my grandmother Bedie fed anyone who came to her door.

Our story

It started on Gaston.

Bedie's house on Gaston was never just a house. Her table fed family, neighbors and anyone who needed a plate. Homework, family meetings and holiday prayers all happened around it, with Bedie at the head and my grandfather Walter at the other end. She never met a stranger.

Table on Gaston carries her way of living forward. When someone needs a seat, you don't ask why. You make room.

Our mission

Meet neighbors in need with food, essentials and a place at the table.

01

Feed

Meals and groceries for families going through a hard season.

02

Provide

Everyday essentials for households starting over or moving into a new home.

03

Gather

Community dinners where nobody eats alone.

Launching soon

Pull up a chair with us.

Table on Gaston is getting ready to launch. Tell us how you'd like to help, or let us know about a family who could use a seat, and we'll be in touch as we open.

Table on Gaston is in the process of becoming a nonprofit. It isn't a registered nonprofit or tax-exempt organization yet, so we're not accepting donations at this time.

I'd like to…
Thank you for pulling up a chair! We'll be in touch as Table on Gaston opens its doors.
