Raleigh Nonprofit Expands Reach with Innovative Food Truck

A Place At The Table, a popular Raleigh nonprofit and pay-what-you-can restaurant, is celebrating a significant milestone with the launch of a new food truck, The Travelin' Table. This mobile extension of the restaurant's mission aims to bring its unique dining experience to a wider audience across the Triangle region.

Empowering Communities, One Meal at a Time

Expanding the Reach of a Beloved Establishment

For nearly seven years, A Place At The Table has been a beacon of hope and community in downtown Raleigh, providing affordable, high-quality meals to those in need. Now, with the introduction of The Travelin' Table, the organization is poised to extend its impact beyond the confines of its brick-and-mortar location. The food truck will bring the restaurant's pay-what-you-can mission and diverse menu to neighborhoods and events throughout the Triangle, ensuring that more individuals have access to nourishing meals and a welcoming dining experience.

Partnering with Local Nonprofits

The Travelin' Table is already planning to collaborate with several Triangle-area nonprofits, further strengthening the organization's commitment to community engagement and support. One of the first partnerships will be with the Boys and Girls Club of Zebulon, allowing the food truck to reach and serve families in that community. By forging these strategic alliances, A Place At The Table is poised to amplify its impact and ensure that its mission of providing affordable, high-quality meals reaches a wider audience.

Catering to Corporate and Private Events

In addition to its community outreach efforts, The Travelin' Table will also be available for private events, corporate functions, and catering opportunities. This versatility not only generates additional revenue to sustain the organization's operations but also allows A Place At The Table to showcase its culinary expertise and commitment to social responsibility to a broader audience. By partnering with businesses and individuals for these events, the nonprofit can further its mission of creating a more inclusive and equitable food landscape.

A Collaborative Effort

The launch of The Travelin' Table would not have been possible without the support and generosity of numerous sponsors and community partners. From Wake County and Townebank to the Jimmy Carroll Foundation and Smithfield, these organizations have rallied behind A Place At The Table's vision, providing the necessary resources and funding to bring this innovative food truck to life. The Davila Family, International Farming, Sears Foundation, and Thompson Gas have also played crucial roles in making this expansion a reality.

A Milestone Moment for A Place At The Table

The introduction of The Travelin' Table marks a significant milestone in the history of A Place At The Table. After nearly seven years of serving the Raleigh community from its downtown location, the nonprofit is now poised to expand its reach and impact, ensuring that its mission of providing affordable, high-quality meals is accessible to an even wider audience.
