Project Synopsis: Challenge/Opportunity
The Kitchen Table (TKT) opened its doors in summer 2016 as a community cafe, where everyone - regardless of their ability to pay - is welcome to enjoy a fabulous home-cooked meal and volunteer to prepare and serve food to others. The organization relies solely on revenue, donations, and volunteerism to financially support their operations. What other community resources and engagement opportunities are available for TKT to leverage in order to support its long-term growth?
