Daily Table 2024 Impact Report
Changing Lives with Affordable Nutrition
Reflecting on the past year, Daily Table expresses gratitude for the community of supporters, partners, and team members contributing to the mission of providing affordable, nutritious food to all. Despite challenges, such as federal funding cuts, the organization served over 260,000 residents in 2024, emphasizing the importance of community feedback and strategic decision-making.
One of the key highlights was the closure of the Mattapan store in January 2024, after two years of operation, due to low customer numbers. This decision aimed to optimize resources for greater impact. Daily Table's unique nonprofit model, where 70% of costs are covered by store sales, ensures sustainability and affordability for customers, bridging the gap between free food resources and traditional supermarkets.
The organization's commitment to making healthy food accessible for all is evident through various initiatives like the Double Up Food Bucks program, Flash Finds, and Add Milk program. These efforts focus on offering fresh, nutritious food at affordable prices, supported by partnerships with suppliers like UNFI and King Arthur Baking.
Community engagement is a core aspect of Daily Table's work, with programs like the Teaching Kitchen offering cooking and nutrition classes to empower individuals to prepare healthy meals at home. Volunteer involvement plays a crucial role in supporting the organization's mission, ensuring the availability of fresh, affordable food to those in need.
Through strong partnerships with a wide range of organizations, Daily Table amplifies its impact and reaches more people in the community, fostering healthier, nourished communities. The collaborative efforts with faith-based groups, schools, healthcare providers, and government agencies are essential in driving positive change and addressing food insecurity.
