Our MISSION
Extra Table FEEDS was founded by chef and restaurateur Robert St. John in 2009. We are a statewide nonprofit food bank, receiving ZERO federal funds. We are dedicated to fighting food insecurity by fundraising to purchase and deliver nutritious, shelf-stable food to our pantry and soup kitchen partners across the state. Celebrating our 16th year, Extra Table FEEDS continues to deliver on our promise: every plate tells the story of hope, nourishment, and community.
