Community Support
BREAKFAST CLUB
Every Monday morning from 6:30-8:30am, individuals from the Common Table team prepare and serve a nutritious breakfast in Thaxter Hall. Free and open to any who are desiring a full plate of delicious hot breakfast.
Common Table
Every Thursday at noon, people from all across the Seacoast area come to the Common Table for a nutritious meal served in a joyous atmosphere. Housed at St. John’s Episcopal Church in downtown Portsmouth, but a separately funded and community run activity, the Common Table began in 2001 and has fed approximately 80,000 children and adults over the last 18 years.
Polar Packs
On Christmas Day of 2017, an extended sub-zero freeze threatened the lives of people trying to survive outdoors. Parishioners of St. John's generously responded, led by Peter and Ann Tarlton. With the generous support of the Kittery Trading Post, St. John’s has continued to supply sets of sleeping bags, socks, hats, and gloves to homeless shelters on the Seacoast. To donate, send a check to St. John's Episcopal Church, designated for Polar Pack Fund (on the memo line).
