As our program expands and widens its circle, we are dedicated to building “longer tables” in our community – welcoming places where all people are invited to stop and be present. In our vision, “longer tables” are safe spaces for laughter and storytelling. They have the capacity to reclaim commonality, dispel tension, and renew community, as we are compelled to truly look into the faces of others. Together we gather, we share, and we leave nourished.

With a new home – a longer table – Open Table MDI will be able to prepare and share even more nourishing food and welcome more neighbors in a community dining space.

We are moving into 116 Cottage Street in Bar Harbor in early 2022!
