Pull up a chair. Huntsville’s table is set.
A free, catered Thanksgiving meal that brings people from every corner of our city together to give thanks and celebrate community. Everyone is welcome — and we need lots of hands to make it happen.
Everyone gets a seat at the table.
One Table Huntsville is a city-wide Thanksgiving meal hosted by Village of Promise in the heart of downtown. Neighbors, families, coworkers and strangers sit side by side, share a plate, and leave as friends.
Village of Promise has served Northwest Huntsville since 2011, helping children and families move beyond poverty through education and support across generations. One Table is our way of bringing the whole village together.
The table is almost set. Save your seat.
From the first truckload at 7:45 am to the last folded chair, One Table runs on volunteers. Shifts overlap so you can serve and enjoy the meal.
The table is open today! 🍂
until Monday, Nov 23 · 11:30 am at Big Spring Park
