This world can be tough at times, there are so many people who wake up each day and don’t know what the future holds for them and sometimes just sometimes there is a tiny beautiful light that can shine where you are always welcome no matter who you are no matter what struggle you are facing. And is one of those places that makes that tougher world just a little better one meal at a time. What they do, how they care is so so needed in world where so many people struggle even to put food on the table. There is no better place for this table to be… for families to gather around, for strangers to sit next to one another and feel loved, and now they can gather around this table, eat, laugh share and know that they are seen. Thank you to for all that you do it’s just special. This table started as a tree sitting on the front lawn of the Asbury Park post office, coming back from a delivery years ago I saw them taking it down, immediately went over and said I’ll take it. With Sam from the Asbury Park hardware store we threw the logs on his forklift and drove it up Main Street to the shop, milled it with , kiln dried it with , surfaced the slabs on the then with the help from the guys I transformed this set of bookmatched Sweetgum slabs into this breathtaking river table. A final touch was Rich welding a custom base which I kept raw steel with a clear lacquer finish…. I just wanna say thank you to everyone who donated their time and materials and a bigger OMG thank you to for helping me get this all set … just DO GOOD the world needs it ❤️
