Who We Are

The Community Table is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide nutritious meals, in a welcoming environment, to our neighbors in need. Since 1999, our vision has been that no one in Jackson County, NC goes to bed hungry. We are more than a soup kitchen, more than a food pantry. Through our partnership with MANNA Food Bank, and with the ongoing support of our community, we are a powerful resource for those in need.

CURRENT Days and Hours of Operation

Meals are served on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 4:00pm-5:30pm. Everyone is welcome and there is never a fee. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, so come enjoy a nutritious home-cooked meal.

Our food pantry provides groceries for home use (return every 2 weeks) on the same days between 11:00am-5:30pm. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

More information on these programs may be found on the Need Assistance? page of this website.

About Us

The Community Table, Sylva, NC
Community Table Building

There have been many changes over the years, but one thing has remained a constant – The Community Table’s mission.

The Community Table was founded to provide a welcoming place for all kinds of people to gather for a good meal. The volunteers and staff are friendly and caring, and there’s a real sense of kinship.

Everyone is welcome at The Community Table, and there is never a fee for our services. Folks may dine-in or take home carryout orders. When you come in, you may sit anywhere you’d like, and you’ll be provided with a menu. Someone will wait on you, just like in any restaurant.

Our food pantry program provides groceries for home preparation. For more information please contact us by phone or e-mail, or click Need Assistance?
