The 2025 Community Table:
A Night to Remember
What began as a simple idea—neighbors gathering for a shared meal—has blossomed into a powerful expression of community, compassion, and shared purpose. The Community Table has become a cherished tradition, symbolizing our collective commitment to care for one another, especially those facing food insecurity.
This year’s event on Thursday evening, April 24, surpassed all expectations. Nearly 200 guests gathered under clear, beautiful skies for an unforgettable evening filled with culinary elegance and heartfelt connection. The setting—a stunning private estate nestled in Katonah’s rolling hills and vibrant gardens—provided an exquisite backdrop for an evening of inspiration and generosity. We were honored to welcome new friends and supporters, as well as longtime champions whose unwavering commitment continues to shape the Pantry’s mission.
Thanks to your presence and participation, we not only raised vital funds but also reaffirmed the spirit of community that defines our work. At a time when food costs are surging and more families than ever are turning to us for help, your support means everything. The Paddle Raise was robust and amazing!
Now, we invite you to carry the spirit of the Community Table into your circles. Whether at your place of business, around your backyard table, or in a favorite local space, consider hosting a micro-Community Table event. When neighbors gather with intention, powerful things happen. Let’s continue to nourish hope—one table at a time.
