The new Community Table of Albion location is Kresge Commons, behind the Albion College Wesley Hall. Albion College donated the new location, and allows for more space and better coordination among organizations already at work in this critical area.

Signs and volunteers will help guide participants at the new location when it opens May 11 for the three-times-a-month food distribution.
