Our Neighbors' Table Spoon Platoon

The Spoon Platoon is Our Neighbors’ Table’s community of dedicated supporters who believe that access to nourishing food is a fundamental expression of care, dignity, and belonging.
Named for the simplest tool we use every day, the spoon represents how nourishment is shared — how food is offered, received, and carried forward from our table to our neighbors.
​Members of the Spoon Platoon provide the steady, meaningful support that allows Our Neighbors’ Table to serve individuals and families throughout the year.
This work is not done alone. It takes many hands, moving together with purpose and compassion.
Together, we carry nourishment forward.

Why We Give to ONT

"We became involved with Our Neighbors’ Table after learning about the extent of food insecurity in the greater Newburyport area. Through volunteering at the Amesbury market, John witnessed firsthand how many neighbors struggled to access basic nourishment before finding ONT. Guided by the belief that to whom much is given, much is required, we became donors and consider it a privilege to support this vital community organization."

John and Judy Wilkinson
