Food insecurity is an unfortunate situation in our wealthy country. This is especially true on Cape Cod, year round. Family Table Collaborative helps greatly by providing prepared, nutritious meals across the entire Cape - delivered to community centers, veterans groups, senior and housing organizations and directly to recipients ... nearly 1000 meals a week, and over 10000 meals during this past March blizzard.
I'm proud to help in some of delivery parts of this as a volunteer. FTC has hundreds of volunteers making this work as well as generous sponsors who donate food and financial resources.
The Second Summer Cycle event is a charity bike ride in September, across a good portion of the Cape. It raises money for a number of Cape Cod charities. I'm riding my bike for this. Everything I raise goes to Family Table. Please consider donating to my ride.
Thank you,
Mike
