A full table for everyone on our street.
Larkspur Table is a volunteer-powered community pantry and neighborhood kitchen. We share groceries, cook together and make sure nobody here eats alone or goes without.
Four ways we show up
Every program started because a neighbor asked for it. Each one is run by volunteers and open to anyone who needs it, no paperwork on the doorstep.
Community pantry
Choose your own groceries from shelves stocked with staples, produce and household basics. Come weekly or when things get tight.
Neighbor kitchen
A hot meal, cooked together and served at long tables. Sit with someone new, or take a meal home for the evening.
Weekend produce stand
Fresh fruit and vegetables from local growers and garden donors, shared on a pay-what-you-can, take-what-you-need basis.
Holiday baskets
Seasonal boxes packed by families and school groups, so holiday tables fill up across the neighborhood.
Your gift keeps the lights on and the shelves full
Give once, give every month, or give what you grow and bake. Every gift goes toward food, kitchen supplies and the small things that make a meal feel like a welcome.
Recurring giving is the steadiest help we receive. A small monthly gift lets us plan the pantry order ahead, buy in bulk and keep prices off the table for our neighbors. Pause, change or cancel any time.
Start a monthly giftA single gift goes to whatever we need most that week: fresh produce, dairy, a broken fridge or a refill on cooking oil. You will get a receipt for your records.
Give one timeBring garden surplus, non-perishables or kitchen supplies to the pantry door during open hours. Not sure what to bring? We keep a short, current wish list.
