Extra Table fundraises to purchase new, healthy, and shelf-stable food to be delivered monthly to food pantries and soup kitchen across Mississippi. Extra Table supplies Mississippians with an average of $74,000 dollars of food per month to 57 food panties, all within Mississippi. Martha Allen grew up on the Mississippi delta and was taught by her parents at an early age to always help others. She began working in the non-profit sector and met Robert St. John at a fundraising event. Extra Table was originally the idea of Robert St. John, a well-known and successful Hattiesburg restaurateur. Robert was so impressed with Martha that he knew when he met her that he needed to hire her. A mere 15 days after interviewing for the position, Martha was living in Hattiesburg and working at Extra Table with the mission of feeding hungry Mississippians fresh and healthy food.
