NORWAY — The Table, located at 160 Main Street, continues to be busy offering Weekly Free clothing give away, free breakfast (Norway Grange), recovery groups, LEG (Ladies Encouragement/Enrichment Group), and activities with the “HOG’s” (Healthy Outdoor Group).
Free Movie Night: The Table will be hosting a free movie night on February 10 at 6:30 p.m. at The Table located at 160 Main St. in Norway. The movie is “The Way” starring Martin Sheen and Rated PG-13. Anyone who loves hiking and knows what a spiritual journey being outside can be will like this movie. There are many people who have hikes with the HOG’s will love this movie. Great movie to watch in the winter.
Weekly Free Breakfast: The Table is offering in-person breakfasts with the option of pick-up to-go meals every Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m. at the Norway Grange on 15 Whitman St. in Norway. The Table is always interested in other teams who would like to take a Saturday and serve breakfast. The in-person breakfasts have been a great way to combat food insecurity as well as fulfilling a social need for many in the area. Please come and join us…”there’s always room at The Table.”
Table’s HOG (Healthy Outdoor Group) continues to hike. Please, follow The Table’s Facebook page for schedules. The HOG is a group of people enjoying the beautiful state of Maine and sharing it with others. The group is not a professional group. HOGs kayak from June through September and hike from October through May.

Saturday, February 11, (10 a.m.) Witt’s Swamp – we will meet at the trailhead at 350 Pleasant St., Norway.
Sunday, February 26, (1 p.m.) Roberts Farm – we will meet at the trailhead at 64 Roberts Rd., Norway.
Save the Date: Sunday, March 12, (12:30 p.m.) Devil’s Den – we will meet at 12:30 p.m. at The Dollar General in West Paris and carpool and follow each other to Devil’s Den in Andover. Cleats are a must and children need to be very closely supervised by their adult caregiver. Devil’s Den is a naturally beautiful ice falls. It is a short walk to the “den.” All abilities are welcome to join us.

Free Clothing: The Table continues to offer free clothing on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 1 p.m.-5 p.m. as well as the last Saturday of each month from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. There is a variety of clothing available for both genders and in many sizes. The Table is located at 160 Main St. in Norway (across the road from the hospital). Staff will be on hand to help customers find specific clothing, to aid in an efficient flow through the building.
The Table accepts donations of lightly used clothing and footwear on the first two weeks of each month on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 1 p.m.-5 p.m. We are also in great need of children’s lightly used or new clothing and shoes. Money to purchase new socks and underwear would also be very much appreciated. We are very blessed by a generous community that donates to The Table, which enables us to be there for people in their hardest times.
We are currently seeking an additional free space to house our clothing ministry. We would be very interested in talking with any person or business that may have an empty in-town building and is looking to give back to the community. We are always looking for community partnerships to help us provide for the needs of our community.
