Hot Meals + Ways to Get Fed. Providing FREE HOT MEALS IN THE PARK! Flyer 9-24-25

We’re a group of happy volunteers who enjoy cooking & bringing free hot meals to area parks several times a month, for anyone who’s hungry. 

  1. We come from all faiths and belief systems, and purposely don’t talk about religion so all can feel comfortable at our Neighborhood Table. 

  2. We never ask for ID, or check personal details. Not our our business, we’re your neighbors. 

  3. We source free food from area grocery stores and our #1 Nationwide award-winning Farmer’s Market that would only be landfilled, Then our cooks turn it into delicious meals for our neighbors.

  4. We love to feed folks, and here, in our town, no one goes hungry if we can help it.

  5. We cook food FRESH in our own homes before our Meals, and by bulk in a church kitchen once a month, so there’s nothing that’s sat on a shelf for years.

  6. We package it all up & bring it to the Gazebo at Flat Branch Park in Columbia, to share with whoever shows up. It's always a party!

Obtain your FICO score for Free

Content added July 23, 2025

You can obtain your FICO score for free directly from MyFICO.com( this provides your score from Equifax, not a full credit report). Beyond just the score, their website offers fantastic educational resources to help you understand credit better.

https://www.myfico.com/free

A FICO Score is a three-digit number based on the information in your credit reports. It helps lenders determine how likely you are to repay a loan. This, in turn, affects how much you can borrow, how many months you have to repay, and how much it will cost (the interest rate).

When you apply for credit, lenders need a fast and consistent way to decide whether or not to loan you money. In most cases, they'll look at your FICO Scores.
