One Table Café

One Table Café is a community restaurant located at Trinity Church.

Our Mission

One Table Café is dedicated to:

• Providing a place that feeds and welcomes all people to share a well-prepared, nutritious meal.
• Offering a venue where people from all walks of life within our community will engage with one another; crossing cultural and demographic barriers by sharing a meal that all community members will want to return to again and again.
• Building a sense of community and caring while forming strong relationships regardless of age, ethnicity, income, education, lifestyle, politics, religion or other separating characteristics. 

Our Guests

We seek to serve the portion of our community who are patrons of Princeton’s Crisis Ministry, the tuition recipients of the YMCA, senior centers, as well as organizations serving clients who will appreciate a restaurant quality meal in a welcoming environment.

Our Food

We seek to serve high quality, nutritious, locally made and/or organic when available, and well balanced meals donated from local restaurant partners/sponsors who want to help the people in their community who otherwise would not have an opportunity to enjoy an evening of fine food. 

Our Volunteers and Staff

One Table will consist primarily of volunteers from Trinity Church and the broader community who are concerned with  providing sustenance and easing economic burdens for their neighbors. 

Long Term Goals

• Gradually increase the frequency of meal service to provide continuity helping feed the working poor and others.
• Demonstrate and educate how healthy foods sustain one’s health and the environment.
• Provide job training skills for those seeking a career path as a culinary professional.
• To create an environment to share the culinary skills of the Restaurant Partners/Sponsors.
• Accomplish our goals in a friendly, attractive environment that does not presume economic stature while fostering a sense of dignity.
• Promote the involvement of our Restaurant Partners/Sponsors and corporations in all of our marketing and communications.
