The Corner Table Begins New Strategic Planning Process 

Press Release launching initiative.

Memo explaining the mention of “temporary housing”.

Link to confidential SURVEY. (Survey is now closed)

Update: The Corner Table would like to clarify that we never had plans to build a homeless shelter, and we remain fully committed to our mission of feeding the community through various programs. After hearing continued confusion and concern from our community, we have decided to discontinue the “testing” of two ideas: a temporary space for a shelter in times of need and a shower area for guests to provide dignity and good hygiene. These concepts have been removed from the two survey questions where they originally appeared, and the board has confirmed that a temporary shelter will not be considered moving forward. Our focus continues to be on serving our community with compassion through our existing programs.

Timeline for Strategic Planning Process:

  • January 12, 2025: Stakeholder’s Meeting

  • Individual interviews with key constituents and our consultant: January 12th-February 14th

  • Survey: February 3-14th

  • Strategic Planning Meetings with Committee: February-April

  • Goal to complete Strategic Plan: May 2025

    Plans for property at 201 E 8th Street, Newton, NC 28658

  • The only plans for the property at this time are to demo the building due to safety concerns. Once the property has been completely demoed, it will be seeded until further plans are established.
