Open Table

Mission: Our Mission is simple: to feed a meal to anyone who is hungry and to build relationships with volunteers and guests.

Who We Are: Open Table is a mobile food truck ministry of Zumbro Lutheran Church. We believe that reaching out with compassion to neighbors in our community is part of the work that God calls us to do.

Who We Serve: All are welcome. No registration required. Anyone who desires a free meal is welcome. No cost. No strings attached.

What We Serve: Our meal consists of a hearty burrito (with turkey, rice, beans, corn, salsa, lettuce, and cheese) fruit cups, and a cookie. We are a Channel One partner and distribute Kitchen Coalition meals every week in addition to our burrito meal. We also distribute free milk, fresh produce, and food pantry items in conjunction with community partnerships.
