This week has been a very fulfilling one with so many members of the Northfield community contacting us to volunteer for Thursday’s Table!

We especially want to note the additional community members who have offered to serve as “regular” volunteers once each month. Thanks to those in our posting below and to the new “regulars”: Amy Weed, Jan Shoger, Marge Randolph, Laurie Vinge, Kris Peterson, Jennifer Severson and Joy Johnson-Grove. 

If you are intersted to support Thursday’s Table with a gift or to volunteer, please contact us at info@thursdaystable.org or visit http://www.thursdaystable.org. Information on volunteer roles can be downloaded by clicking Individual Volunteer Information Packet.



Regular Volunteers to Serve Thursday’s Table Guests Each Month

 We’d like to extend our great thanks to a special group of local volunteers, each of whom has offered to serve as a regular volunteer at Thursday’s Table. Regular volunteers serve on the same Thursday each month, in the same role, either helping to prepare meals, serve and greet guests or to clean-up afterwards. These regulars are a great help to the volunteers who are new to Thursday’s Table as they can show them around and make them feel comfortable. Our guests will also appreciate seeing some familar faces!

So, thanks go to Carolyn Joyce, Bobbie Peterson, Cindy Kreis, Diane Boyum , James Weidner,  Stephanie DuFour-Carlson and Sandra Varley for making this extra commitment!

We still have a need for a few more regulars. If you are intersted, please contact us at info@thursdaystable.org. Information on volunteer roles can be downloaded by clicking Individual Volunteer Information Packet.
