The Olive Mass
The Olive Mass is a unique celebration, open to all in the hospitality industry, to unite in a spirit of goodwill to celebrate their passion. It is an opportunity for communities around the nation to invite food, beverage and hospitality professionals, and the community members they serve, to a prayerful gathering celebrating food and blessing those who prepare and serve it. The Olive Mass is a simple but profound celebration to recognize, thank and encourage everyone who makes our celebrations worth celebrating. Tickets to attend are free.
Formation & Mentorship
Inspired by Christian principles of compassion, forgiveness and humility, The Table Foundation Formation Program serves a critical community need by helping people transition from active incarceration to stability through our shared passion for food and inviting others to join us in our mission. In this way, we help create a path to a happy, healthy, and fruitful life.
We also seek to mentor young chefs who want to find their way in the hospitality industry, especially those who are exploring nontraditional career paths. We strive to help our mentees to gain clarity on their goals and purpose while sharing with them the true power of this remarkable industry.
Support & Resources
People in the hospitality industry are some of the hardest workers around, and they live and work in an environment with its own very unique set of challenges. Like all of us, at times these service-minded people may struggle with life and need some extra help, but don’t know where to turn.
Therefore, inspired by Christian principles of compassion and mercy, The Table Foundation is working hard to develop and grow an online Resource Directory tailored to the needs of service and hospitality industry workers. This Directory will provide links to organizations that can provide the resources or assistance necessary to improve one’s social, mental or physical well-being and overall state in life.
Like our Formation and Mentorship program, our desire is to help create a sustainable path to a happy, healthy, and fruitful life.
