I. Executive Summary
In 2013, the Spring Street Community Development Center implemented
Table of Hope a community kitchen and a 501©(3) organization offering
meals at no cost Monday through Friday 6pm - 7:30pm
II. Organization Overview
The Spring Street Community Development Center (SSCDC) is a family-
centered organization dedicated to identifying and addressing the needs of
families in Morris County in order to reverse negative trends, improve quality of
life, and strengthen the community.
The goals of the SSCDC are to:
 Bring Together organizations to target neighborhoods and enrich
families
 Foster sustainability through family involvement, leadership, and
indemnification of resources
 Change the cultural expectations among families
 Develop assets among families from targeted area
 Reduce community factors that lead to child abuse
Our duty is to be a family-strengthening program that provides families a greater
chance of a sustainable form of living. We believe that this mission and the
accomplishment of our goals begin with assisting families and individuals with a
well-balanced and nutritional meal. Addressing one without addressing the other
provides a temporary fix that can be easily reversed thus not having a substantial
impact on the family or the community as a whole.
MISSION: Table of Hope is a Community Kitchen, offering meals at no cost
Monday through Friday 6pm - 7:30pm, dedicated to improving the health,

IV. Need Statement:
There are hungry people in Morristown, New Jersey, and greater in
the Morris County area who need adequate, nutritious meal. The need is
evident as Table of Hope, a community kitchen and a 501©(3)
organization, served 14,383 meals (1,613 of them children) in 11 months.
Without Table of Hope many would not eat at all. Operational funds
are always difficult and fundraising in an ongoing part of the kitchen’s
activities, but money is even more difficult currently due to the downturn of
the economy. Some of the most needy are being hit the hardest. Without
nutrition, the impoverished will not be able to amend the financial situation
nor will their health improve.
Spring Street Community Development Center is seeking $12,000 in
funding for Table of Hope to establish an operational account for 5 years,
which would allow the kitchen: to balance its budget, provide ongoing
access to food and supplies, and continue providing meals for members of
the community and the surrounding communities it serves.
