The 2nd Annual Mooresville Longest Table

Hello MGSD community,
As families in Western NC are struggling with the lack of so many necessities due to Hurricane Helene, the Mooresville Longest Table planning committee and event sponsors have made the decision to cancel the event as advertised that was scheduled for this Sunday, October 6. Instead of gathering at The Table along Blue Devil Blvd, we are extending it to Western NC. Cheney Bros, the food supplier for our Longest Table event, is working with emergency food providers to have the food that was originally intended for our event this Sunday to be delivered to Western NC instead. We regret that we will no longer be serving a meal this Sunday, but we strongly believe this action at this time embodies our philosophy for this year's Longest Table: The Power of WE.
BUT, our Mooresville Longest Table committee will still be gathering along Blue Devil Blvd in Mooresville this Sunday to collect supplies for our neighbors, both at home and in Western NC. We would love to see everyone who already planned on experiencing the Power of We come help us show Western NC that WE includes all of North Carolina! Not only will we be sending the food west, we will also be collecting needed items to go to Western NC. In addition, we want to ensure we are taking care of our community right here in Mooresville, so we will still be collecting canned goods for our local food pantries as originally planned.
Western NC Needs:
Baby wipes
Diapers & Pull-Ups
Soap
Toothpaste
Clorox/disinfectant wipes
Mooresville Needs:
Canned vegetables
Canned fruit
Canned soup/pasta
Canned meat
Canned milk
We will be accepting these donations from 1:00 until 3:00pm on Sunday, October 6, at Mooresville High School (659 E Center Ave, Mooresville, NC). Please enter Blue Devil Blvd off of Center Street to drop off your donation and exit onto Cabarrus Avenue. We kindly ask that you only bring the items being requested due to specific distribution requirements.
Thank you to everyone for your understanding and AMAZING support. We are so blessed in our community and even more fortunate to be able to share these blessings with those in need. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
