Several years ago, concerned and challenged by the rising demand for food assistance, Agape Table developed a plan for the future that would address the ever-increasing need in our community. A permanent home, with an increased capacity to feed more people, the potential to extend hours of operation, and resume and expand cancelled support programs was identified as critical.

In May 2022 Agape Table purchased the property and building (352-356 Furby St) adjacent to the current location in the basement of the Wave Church just north of Portage Avenue. A Building Committee was formed, and working closely with Pico Architecture and Bockstael Construction (with Board, staff, guest, and volunteer input) plans were developed to construct a new 10,500 sq foot building next to the existing 5,600 sq foot brick building located at 356 Furby St.

Fundraising efforts to fund the $8 Million Capital Campaign began in December 2022 led by a dedicated and committed Capital Campaign Fund Advisory Committee comprised of community volunteers and Agape Table staff.

A milestone was reached in early September when total donations and pledges to the Campaign reached 50% of the $8M goal.
