Our Story
Our story began in St. Paul, Minnesota in 2022 after witnessing thousands of pounds of food go to waste every day while working my college job. What began as an initiative to solve food waste, soon evolved into a mission to gather and reunite our community.
We developed an innovative food recovery system to repurpose food from reputable institutions and connect them to organizations serving our community. Formerly known as Food to People, we've since evolved our services to cultivate community through the transportation of food to organizations and providing programming consultation to organizations hoping to jumpstart meal events.
Over the years, we've served some incredible people and realized it goes far beyond the meal. It's our mission to connect community over shared meals, regardless of background, so that all may be seen, known and loved. One Table felt like the perfect name for this new chapter.
We thank God for the blessings He has provided for us, and look towards the future with excitement knowing His plan is always good!
In Christ,

Our Mission
To unite the community with meals that nourish body & spirit
Gathering is powerful. Our community strengthens when neighbors meet around tables and unite over a shared vision. In a society that has lost authentic connection, gathering reconnects us to the core of our humanity. A table where everyone is welcome is an excellent gathering place.
Just as Christ invites all to the table, our hope is that the community will experience Christ through the breaking of bread. We believe it goes beyond just sharing a meal; it’s about creating a space for vulnerability and connection while loving our neighbor. This simple act of breaking bread brings us together, transcending barriers and bridging gaps, allowing neighbors to find common ground in the most basic of human needs — a need that is just as spiritual as it is physical.
