With the passing of time, it is inevitable that change occurs.
The Table of Plenty has been serving a monthly meal at St. Anthony Campus of Catholic Charities since April 2017. We have been notified that beginning January 2023 Good Shepherd's Table of Plenty will no longer have access to the St. Anthony Campus to serve the monthly meal. After discussing this development with our faithful volunteers, we have decided to discontinue the Table of Plenty as of January 2023.
We would like to thank Catholic Charities for providing the opportunity to serve over 13, 996 meals. We would especially like to thank Laura Stevens, the former Common Table Director, Chef Makeda Freeman-Woods and the students of the Catholic Charities Culinary Program for the wonderful meals.
We would also like to thank Saint Agnes Outreach Committee, Pastoral Committee and its parishioners for their generous financial support which has allowed us to serve the Portland, Russell, and Shawnee neighborhoods for over five years.
Thank you to the pastors of Good Shepherd both past and present for their continued support: Fathers John Burke, Chuck Walker, and Deogratias Ssamba, AJ.
Finally, we would like to thank all who have volunteered in this worthy cause of feeding the hungry.
God bless,
Charles Ludwig
