This project keeps inspiring us. Every time we test a new format, something new happens. Ideas grow, connections form, and people want to join or create their own version.

 

Not everyone has access to large spaces or community kitchens. So what happens if Surplus Table becomes something more personal?

 

What if you could host it anywhere? At home, outside, wherever you are.

You simply

look at what surplus food you already have

gather what is available around you

invite others to do the same

Then you meet

cook together

and share a meal made from what already exists

No pressure. Just surplus.

This is the Surplus Table Ripple.

If you have been invited, you pass it forward.

Invite

2 people you feel safe with

1 person you want to get to know better

1 unexpected guest

Or just one. Start small. It all counts.

Share your meal, your mix of ingredients, and what you discovered in the moment.

What did you save in money, food waste, or connection.

We are looking for test participants.

Write YES in the comments or send a DM

and you will be invited to join a pilot.

Let’s create more shared surplus meals together!
