What is Enid Welcome Table?
Enid Welcome Table, EWT, is a community meal on Sunday evenings for ANYONE who is hungry.
Every week a different community group plans, prepares, and serves our meal to those in need.
Sundays were the only day of the week the food insecure weren't fed in the city of Enid, without religious expectations. When EWT heard of this, we knew we wanted to put forward an opportunity for a meal with
NO STRINGS ATTACHED, so that the most vulnerable in our city do not go without food
from Saturday until Monday.
EWT hopes that you, or your organization, will want to fill the void with us by helping to serve a meal one Sunday a year. We are calling upon the community of Enid to help care for our citizens who are in desperate need of help.
Will you and your organization consider signing for a Sunday to prepare a meal for those in great need? By doing so, we as a community, will show those in Enid who live in constant food insecurity that they have not been forgotten and are valuable and cared for by many.
EWT is generously hosted in the kitchen at Central Christian Church.
