Hope Served Daily

Sponsor a Dinner. Serve Hope.

At the Upper Room Dining Hall, we believe everyone deserves a warm meal, a welcoming place, and the dignity of being treated with kindness and respect. Through The Community Table, you can make a direct and meaningful difference in the lives of our neighbors.

For just $360, you can sponsor a hot, nutritious dinner for approximately 150 people—the number of guests we serve each evening. That’s just $2.40 per meal!

Whether you’re a local business, community organization, family, or individual looking to give back, The Community Table offers a simple way to make a lasting impact. Sponsorships can be made one time, weekly, or monthly, and partial meal sponsorships are always welcome.

Sponsoring a meal is also a meaningful way to celebrate a birthday, honor an anniversary, remember a loved one, or simply show your community you care.

As a token of our appreciation, Community Table sponsors are recognized in our monthly newsletter, on social media, and through the gratitude of those whose lives they touch.

Your Support Reaches Beyond Our Dining Hall

The need for food assistance continues throughout El Dorado County, and the Upper Room is committed to meeting that need with compassion, consistency, and care.

At the Upper Room Dining Hall, we provide free, hot, nutritious dinners every evening of the year, welcoming anyone in need without barriers or judgment. More than a place to eat, our dining hall offers a sense of belonging and connections to essential services and resources.

At the Navigation Center, we provide three meals a day to individuals working toward stable housing, helping ensure that access to nutritious food is one less obstacle on their journey forward.

Through our Mobile Meal Program, we bring freshly prepared meals directly to individuals who may be unable to reach our dining hall, including those living in vehicles, seniors with limited mobility, residents of outlying communities, and people facing displacement or other hardships. Along with nourishment, we bring compassion and a reminder that they have not been forgotten.

More Than Meals—A Community That Cares

Every meal we serve is made possible through the generosity of donors, volunteers, local businesses, and community partners who believe that no one should face hunger alone.

Whether you sponsor a dinner, volunteer your time, make a donation, or help spread the word, you are part of something bigger. Your support allows us to continue providing not only nourishment, but also hope, connection, and a welcoming place for those who need it most.

At the Upper Room, we serve more than meals. We serve our community with dignity, compassion, and care.

Together, we’re making a difference—one meal, one person, and one act of kindness at a time.

With gratitude,
The Upper Room Team
