Save the Date for La Table: Tuesday, February 6, 2024

La Table is an annual benefit luncheon designed to raise awareness and funds to alleviate family homelessness in the Athens area.

La Table is Family Promise of Athens’ signature fundraising event. We invite you to join in the fun as we gather together for a luncheon at the 1055 Barber at 11 AM on Tuesday, February 6th. Table hosts will provide wonderfully themed table decor for each table and we will enjoy a meal together as participants learn more about the mission and work of family promise. If you would like to attend the event, we welcome you to join! Whether you have a table host, or would like to attend and be placed at a table, we have room for all in our community. A donation of $65 will register you for the luncheon.

All community members are invited to buy a ticket to attend La Table, but if you are interested in hosting a table, please reach out. Hosting a table means that you commit to inviting 7-9 guests to your table as well as taking care of the decorating of the table. Interested in learning more about becoming a table host?

Please make your donation check out to Family Promise Athens and write La Table plus your table host in the memo for mailing checks to PO Box 581 Athens, GA 30603.

We look forward to celebrating with you!

The deadline for buying a ticket is Monday, January 29th.

Table Decorations

Each year volunteers are recruited to serve as table hosts. Table hosts create elaborate themed designs to embellish their table. Sometimes the decorations feature items to be donated to Family Promise of Athens to assist with the care of our guests. Other times the centerpieces hold special meaning for the hosts or the congregations they represent. Table hosts invite friends to join them for the luncheon. Each guest contributes a $65.00 donation to attend. The cost of food, facilities rental, and service is covered by presenting sponsors.
