Minnesota Good Works Welcomes Community Table Into a New Season of Service

Minnesota Good Works (MGW) is honored to share that Community Table, a cherished ministry that has served monthly community meals in Elk River for more than five years, will be transitioning under the care of MGW at the end of this year. Community Table will host its final event on Sunday, December 21, 2025, marking the close of a beautiful chapter and the beginning of a new season.

Since its launch, Community Table has embodied a powerful mission: creating a place where every person feels welcomed, cared for, and seen over a warm meal. That mission has been sustained by incredibly dedicated leaders and volunteers who have poured themselves into this work year after year.

After much prayer, reflection, and conversation, Community Table’s leadership recognized that sustaining this ministry long-term would require additional support. Minnesota Good Works is humbled to be entrusted with carrying this mission forward.

As MGW prepares for this transition, the monthly community meal gatherings will pause temporarily while plans are thoughtfully developed for what comes next. While the format may evolve, the core spirit of Community Table — connection, dignity, and shared hope — will continue to guide this work.

MGW extends heartfelt appreciation to everyone who has been part of Community Table’s story:

  • To the sponsors, donors, and community partners who made each meal possible — thank you for your generosity and unwavering support.
  • To the volunteers who cooked, served, and loved their neighbors — your faithfulness has impacted countless lives.
  • To every guest who has shared a meal at Community Table — your presence has shaped a community of belonging that will continue through this new chapter.

Minnesota Good Works is honored to steward the next season of this beloved ministry and looks forward to sharing updates as plans unfold.

With gratitude,
Minnesota Good Works
