Rachel’s Table × European Bakery Featured on What’s Up Worcester!
We’re honored to be featured on What’s Up Worcester for our Treat Week partnership with European Bakery & Pastry, where every purchase of their beloved Chocolate Babka helped fight hunger in Greater Worcester. This special collaboration highlighted not just delicious food, but the power of local businesses to uplift neighbors facing food insecurity.
Whether purchased in-store or shared during the holidays, the bakery’s support helps us continue delivering fresh, nutritious meals to more than 50 local shelters, youth programs, and families across Greater Worcester. With generosity like this, we’re able to rescue over 14,500 pounds of food each week—and keep this mission going strong.

Rachel’s Table x American Flatbread Featured in Worcester Patch!
We’re honored to be featured in Worcester Patch for our upcoming Benefit Night at American Flatbread, where every pizza sold on August 19, 2025 helped fight hunger in Greater Worcester.
In case you missed it: Rachel’s Table partnered with American Flatbread on Green Street for a one-night-only fundraiser where $3.50 from every large pie and $1.75 from every small supports our food rescue and redistribution work.“This event is more than a fundraiser — it’s a chance for our community to come together over something as simple as a pizza and make a real difference.”
Whether you dine in, take out, or order online, your purchase goes directly toward getting rescued food to more than 50 local shelters, pantries, and meal programs. With your help, we distribute over thousands of lbs of food each week — and nights like this keep our mission going strong.
