Table One Ministries is founded on the mission to feed all people in the Kenton and surrounding communities with local, delicious, and healthy food. The goal: one table where everyone has the chance to eat. Now you may be asking yourself how they plan on doing this? The idea is simple, go eat and pay what you can. Paying for your meal will help to pay it forward and cover the costs to provide a meal for the next person. And if you can t afford the meal, volunteer your time working at the restaurant.
