                 Who We Serve and Synergy

                              syn·er·gy  n. "The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their 
                                                            combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects."



Table to Table distributes the food we rescue through agencies that serve the hungry , homeless and at-risk populations in our area. Distributing the food in this manner has a mutli-fold effect. It gets the food to those who need it the most via the agencies they are already going to for services; they don't have to go to a separate location to acquire it.

The agencies also derive a benefit from the value of food because they no longer need to purchase it for their programs or divert staff time to acquire it.  The food Table to Table provides at no fee helps stretch their budgets as they provide the safety net of services to the community.

Since the agencies know the needs of their clientele, Table to Table can focus on efficiently collecting and distributing the food we rescue. It allows us to maximize the volume of wholesome food we can keep from going to waste.

Everyone benefits through this synergy.

 

 

 

 

Who We Serve (In alphabetical order)

  What impact does Table to Table have on the Shelter House and the people you serve?

"The true value of Table to Table is that instead of food being wasted, it goes to people who need it. It's remarkable that this is happening in our community. We all know that the real reason people all over the world are hungry isn't that there isn't enough food, it's just that food isn't distributed to those who need it. Without Table to Table, Shelter House's food budget would be prohibitive, to the point where we couldn't provide our evening meal."
