Executive Director & Founder of Family Table Collaborative: Cape Cod's Community Kitchen Volunteers are key to the success of the Family Table Collaborative, founded in 2020 by Jeni Wheeler to address nutrition insecurity on the Cape. This not-for-profit has 700 volunteers, many of whom are Nauset Newcomers, who prepare and distribute nutritious, balanced meals - 36,000 last year (up 20% over 2025). Based in South Yarmouth, FTC distributes meals in multiple towns, and recently started open distribution in Eastham to better serve the Outer Cape. FTC also offers catering service to raise funds for their programs - you may have enjoyed their delicious fare at the Cape Symphony Orchestra! Come learn about this important organization, its volunteers, its community, and how you can help at the February 11th Member Meeting. February's Meeting is From the Heart! |
Holiday Helping! |
Adopt- a-Family drive! | Thank You! Nauset Newcomers set the standard for generosity at holiday time! A huge thank you rings out for all our members who donated for Thanksgiving baskets and the Homeless Prevention Adopt-a-Family drive. You really made an impact through your donations, your volunteer efforts to pack baskets, your shopping sprees for families, and simply sharing the joy of the season! So many of our activity groups teamed up to sponsor families and shop, shop, shop for just the right gifts to make this an extra special time for people facing challenging times. Thanks so much to all of our members! |
Community Service Committee Chair Susan Stempen delivers a check to HPC from our many generous Nauset Newcomers who donated for theWhat's Happening with Nauset Newcomers! |
