At The Table


Cram a gym or a classroom full of 30-40 middle school students, let them run and play for an hour, and you’re guaranteed to get a request for snack time. Primetime Ozone students have food on their mind after an exciting time at their weekly meetings.  Once a month in Springdale and Rogers, hungry Primetime students get to gather "At The Table" for a home-cooked meal.  This meal is provided by the Northwest Arkansas not-for-profit group At The Table. From their website:
At The Table provides freshly prepared meals to low-income neighborhoods and specialty groups while bringing them together as a community, primarily in an outdoor setting.
At The Table provides healthy meals in a family-style setting where everyone that desires to eat is served without regard to race, nationality, gender, or appearance of need.
Meals have included BBQ sandwiches, chicken strips, and even some delicious Hamburger Helper!  They have graciously equipped our students with take home goodie-bags full of snacks.  We’ve been so blessed by their partnership.  If you’d like more information about their organization, including details on how to get involved with time or finances, visit http://www.atthetablenwa.org or contact info@atthetablenwa.org. CWE365 is so thankful for At the Table!
