DETOP – A Meal Fit for a King

DETOP – A Meal Fit for a King

CHERRYFIELD, ME — Sunbeam Steward Jillian sends this photo from a recent Downeast Table of Plenty serving table with a note: “Wow. We are like kings.” Jillian is referring, of course, to the many DETOP meals, prepared and served by volunteer hosts, that are meals fit for a king.

Agreed! DETOP is held Sundays at the Mission Downeast Campus’s Weald Bethel Community Center. People from every segment of the community attend, and music, conversation, and laughter preside. People who use the food pantry sit with people who fund the food pantry. Two-year olds sit next to ninety-year olds. Hunger and loneliness are nowhere in sight.

CHERRYFIELD, ME — The Mission’s Sunbeam V Steward Jillian sends these photos and an update from Super Bowl Sunday’s Downeast Table of Plenty:

“Even on Super Bowl Sunday our community supper was full of fellowship!

“Ocean wanted to celebrate her birthday at Table of Plenty, so her mom, Savannah hosted the meal and sure made it look easy.”

“We thought to put and apron on Ocean this Sunday so that she didn’t need to be thrown in the dryer.”
