Programs

The Father’s Table began in 1968 at First Baptist Church on Washington Street in High Point. We currently serve three meals a day, six days a week, and breakfast and dinner on Sunday, to the homeless and less fortunate in High Point. There are no stipulations as to who is served as we truly offer an “open door” to those who are hungry. Over 5,000 meals per month are donated, prepared, and served by local churches, organizations, businesses, and community volunteers. The Father's Table makes it possible for those in need including men, women, and children of all ages, to receive a nutritious meal. 

Monday-Friday for breakfast (8:30 am to 9:30 am), lunch (12:30 pm to 1:30 pm), and dinner (6:00 pm to 7:00 pm). Saturday for brunch (11am-1pm) and dinner (6-8). Sunday for breakfast (9-10) and dinner (6-7). (to go boxes only during covid-19). Meals are also passed out through "Meals on the Move" in several additional areas in the community.

The Men’s Shelter program is designed to house adult men on a temporary basis. The shelter offers 32 beds for homeless, adult males. In addition to providing a safe, warm place to sleep, the Shelter also helps clients attain proper identification, such as picture ID’s and social security cards, so that the men can begin to rebuild their lives. Bus tickets are also provided so the men can take care of medical problems and look for work. Case management identifies the individual needs of each client such as finding a job, addressing mental health and medical conditions, and locating housing.

The Program partners with other agencies and services to assist the client in working on a self-sufficient lifestyle.
