Come in your best Halloween costume and help us keep the Burton Street Community safe and clean. We will meet at the Peace Gardens, do a short trash pick up then meet back at the gardens for cookies, cider and some scary stories! This is a kid-friendly event.
Please bring gloves or a trash grabber and a trash bag. Don’t forget to dress up!
There are four seatings each Wednesday for lunch at 10:30, 11:15, 12:00 and 12: 45 and three seatings each Sunday for dinner at 3:45, 4:30 and 5:15 PM. All are welcome and reservations are not necessary!
The Downtown Welcome Table rests on the assumption that food is a primary means of grace, a way to love and connect. It is a homemade meal served on abundant platesby an attentive wait staff.
Lunch and dinner are served family style and folks are invited to linger over the meal as in a nice restaurant or dinner at home.
Cloth napkins, flowers on the table, and china plates send the message “you deserve the very best” and are meant to counter the notion often held by those living on the streets that handouts, hand-me-downs and leftovers are all I deserve.
Never intending to be a soup kitchen or feeding line, we want our meal to be a crossroads of diverse community, a gathering of disparate folks, a fork and spoon invitation to prince and pauper alike.
People who might not otherwise come to know each other develop a friendship over a shared meal.
If you are bringing a group, please contact us in advance so we can be sure to prepare enough food: Emily@haywoodstreet.org or 828-575-2477, ext. 106.

There are four seatings each Wednesday for lunch at 10:30, 11:15, 12:00 and 12: 45. Stop by the Hospitality Cart on your way in and pick up a reservation for the mealtime that works best for you.
On Sundays, come on in when we open at 8 and head down to the dining room for a hot breakfast. Someone will show you to an empty seat. If all the seats are full, there may be a short wait — but you will be seated as soon as an empty seat opens up at one of the tables. Breakfast is served continuously between 8 – 10 a.m.
Saturdays 10:00am-11:00am, for 7 weeks from Oct 28th-Dec 9th
