      My first CP choice is Table of Plenty. It is a food service place in Half Moon Bay that serves its community every Thursday. Table of Plenty has risen from a local need because there is a large part of the Half Moon Bay community that is under privileged.  Not does people without homes come to Table of Plenty but also a lot of latino families that need an extra meal in the week come. Half Moon Bay has a large latino community that needs help. What Table of Plenty does is provide that meal that the under privileged community of Half Moon Bay needs. Local governments have not filled this need adequately because maybe they do not see homelessness and poverty as a major issue in Half Moon Bay. My CP is accountable to a religious organization. It is managed by a Notre Dame de Namur's sister. Sister Jeanette has managed Table of Plenty for many years and is a great leader that loves what she does. Because Table of Plenty is a religious and private organization it is not affected or constrained by federal policies. Table of Plenty hosts a wine tasting fundraising party every year where they make money for a whole year that is able to sustain a meal every Thursday. Raising money is a big task that Sister Jeanette takes.
