SIDNEY - The Table of Grace, a local non-profit organization that is well known in the community for its tireless endeavors, began around 2010 and has since been raising money through grants, sales and donations in the name of feeding the hungry in its communities.
In 2019, they became a Nazarene Compassionate Ministry Center (CMC). As of this past November, they've received and distributed in excess of 229,410 pounds of food; which equals over 191,175 meals served in 2023.
They have held several fund-raisers throughout this past year to raise money which will help cover their operating costs in 2024. The end-of-the-year deadline was December 31, 2023, and they collected $50,000; an amount that will generously be matched by Bell Lumber & Pole, a local family-owned company. Founded in 1909, Bell Lumber has always been an avid supporter of The Table of Grace. Since 2018, the company has matched over $125,000 to help keep them operating and moving forward in providing food to
those in need throughout three counties.
