An average of 200 hungry, homeless, or lonely people are our lunch and dinner guests each day.
This number has remained fairly constant for the past few years although the people who come are needier because of other social programs which have reduced funding as well as a tough job market. My Brother's Table is privately funded and does not receive nor seek federal, state, or local aid.

The Table is not a United Way affiliate. Instead funding comes from thousands of individual donations and a few fundraising events and private grants.

The Table relies heavily on donated food from supermarkets, restaurants, food drives, and individuals for most of each meal served.

In order to serve guests in a caring environment, My Brother's Table utilizes a large volunteer corps—2,500 volunteers a year.

The contribution of volunteer time is as essential to the Table's 365-day-per-year operation as are financial donations. Many of the Table's volunteers have been faithful for 20 years.

Almost all feel that their contributions are very important and make a difference in the lives of the guests as well as the ability of the Table to fulfill its mission. Some volunteers have an ongoing job at the Table and volunteer a day or more weekly to provide a specific service.
