FAQ ABOUT
GATHERING TABLE

​
See the Community Supported page if you would like to contribute or make a donation.
DO I HAVE TO SHARE MY STORY?
These are no pressure dinners. Some of our guests come just to hear the stories of people who are different from them. That is totally fine! But it is those who open up a little first who pave the way for others to share as well.
WHO CAN GO TO A DINNER?
Anyone can come to a Gathering Table community dinner. These dinners are in the Fresno/Clovis area for the community. We invite people from different backgrounds, views and walks of life to all join us at the table.
CAN I BRING GUESTS?
Additional guests are welcome to join you. Make sure to check the box for bringing additional guests when filling out the information to include them in your reservation.
WHERE CAN I DONATE?
Click the "Donation" button at the top of our webpage. You can also find information on how to purchase Spoon Rings and honey at the Community Supported page. Proceeds are administered through The Legacy Church, and 100 percent of donations made to Gathering Table go toward the community dinners and projects.
HOW CAN I HEAR ABOUT UPCOMING EVENTS?
You can follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Tik Tok to hear about upcoming events and activities. Also, sign up to receive our Table Talk Newsletter for regular updates and prayer requests about Gathering Table.
WHAT'S THE PURPOSE?
To have a meal with people who are different from one another, who might not normally share a meal together. To hear one another's story. Share common grounds. And grow in love and empathy.
HOW ARE FARMS INVOLVED?
In keeping with Gathering Table's theme of local food, local people and local culture, a big part of what we do is promote local farms surrounding Fresno and Clovis, CA. Each guest of the dinners gets a farm bag to take home with fresh local produce and goodies along with a story write-up about one of the farms that provided produce for the dinner.
