We have exciting news! As of Friday, January 12, Daily Table stores offer SNAP customers HALF OFF fresh fruits and vegetables with NO DOLLAR LIMIT, through the Double Up Food Bucks program.

On Saturday 9/9/23, we cut the ribbon to celebrate our new store in Salem!

Special thank you to our guests and speakers: Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll, Salem Mayor Dominick Pangallo, Representative Manny Cruz, and President of The Point Neighborhood Association Lucy Corchado!

What a celebration it was! We were welcomed with open arms by the Salem community and look forward to seeing the impact that this new store will continue to provide.

Daily Table’s new Salem store will open on September 8, with a ribbon cutting and grand opening celebrations on September 9! The store will be sparkling, and the shelves will be stocked—thanks in part to the generosity and hard work of our volunteers.

Volunteer Margaret Costello has made the commute to Salem several times from the South Shore, spending the whole day working on getting Daily Table ready to open. “I wouldn’t have missed this for the world! Helping to get the new store ready is the best thing I’ve done this whole summer!”

My name is Anna Dugan, known as artist Annadidathing. I’m from Salem. I’ve been painting since I can remember, but I’ve been doing this full time sinceJuly of 2020, which is kind of crazy to think about. It’s always really important to me to do work within this community to give back, to reflect the same kindness and togetherness that Salem has always shown me.

It’s no surprise that food inflation and the ongoing pandemic have significantly impacted everyone’s cost of living, with grocery prices skyrocketing. Families and individuals in our communities are feeling the strain on their wallets as they try to put nutritious meals on the table, sometimes needing to prioritize transportation, housing, or health costs.

Affordable, nutritious , and delicious: non-profit grocery store opens at The Loop at Mattapan Station.

Leia is passionate about her work at Daily Table, and she’s looking forward to bringing that passion to her new position as Store Manager at the new Daily Table store in Mattapan. “I really can’t wait!” she says.

In 2020, soon after the pandemic hit, Carly, one of our Roxbury customers, found herself laid off from her job and pregnant. “I had student loans, no job, and I was expecting. And I really wasn’t sure what I was going to do. But when I found Daily Table, I realized I could make my [SNAP] benefits last all month, and I could eat the way I needed to eat for the baby.”

Daily Table community grocery store is pleased to host the third annual Free Produce Day — offering any customer $15 of free fruits and vegetables, just in time for the Thanksgiving holidays!
