The homeless and working poor of Summerville have a reliable source of dinner at least two nights a week, thanks to the Expanding the Table food truck serving as the city’s mobile soup kitchen.
When Ashley Ridge Church’s Outreach Director Marty Thomas found himself looking for a way to donate the church’s outreach fund last fall, Jenn Williams, the pastor of Ashley Ridge, urged him to look for something that would be more long-lasting than just a check.
“We wanted a tangible outreach,” Williams said. “We started having conversations with One80 Place to see what was out there and what gaps there were in Summerville.”
