Rachel's Table at Winter in Wooville
Tree of Light & Kindness
This holiday season, Rachel’s Table is honored to participate in Winter in Wooville’s Charity Tree Village at Polar Park. Our entry, the Tree of Light & Kindness, celebrates the heart of our mission — the volunteers who bring nourishment, compassion, and hope to our Worcester community every day.
About the Tree:
Our tree features dozens of hand-crafted stars, each one representing a Rachel’s Table volunteer. These individuals are the light behind everything we do — rescuing food, reducing waste, and delivering meals to neighbors facing food insecurity. The Tree of Light & Kindness was created in their honor, shining in blue and silver to reflect the generosity and dedication they bring to Worcester County.

Rescuing food...Fighting Food Insecurity
WHO WE ARE
Rachel’s Table is a volunteer-driven organization committed to fighting food waste and hunger throughout Greater Worcester. Every day, we rescue unserved and unsold prepared and perishable food from restaurants, markets, bakeries, senior centers, and private donors. Instead of being discarded, this food is delivered to over 30 shelters, soup kitchens, and neighborhood pantries that provide meals to people experiencing food insecurity. Our work depends on more than 70 dedicated volunteers who use their own vehicles to transport these vital donations. Together, we strive to nourish our community while ensuring that good food never goes to waste.
We are one of the many programs of the Jewish Federation of Central Massahusetts
Donate
Over the past 35 years Rachel's Table has distributed over 14 million pounds of food, at no cost, to 30 local shelters, pantries, and soup kitchens. Through our Children's Milk Fund we purchase at least 600 gallons of milk each week from a local dairy and distribute it to 20 different agencies in Worcester, MA. This is the only source of donated milk in the area.
Hunger and the need for food continues to rise.
We thank you for your donation to help our efforts.
