Lola's Table
Lola's Table is a women-led giving experience hosted by One Generation Away, built on the belief that dignity, hope, and nourishment belong to everyone. Named for Elaine Whitney — "Lola" to her grandchildren, and co-founder of One Gen Away — Lola's Table brings women together throughout the year to serve side by side, share a meal, and fight hunger across Middle Tennessee.
Four gatherings, one table
What began as a single luncheon has grown into a year-round rhythm of gatherings, each one built around the same idea: when women show up for their community, and for each other, something bigger than a single afternoon takes root. Here's how you can be part of it.
Lola's Table
Our signature event. Sixty women, sixty minutes, thousands of meals packed. Guests form an assembly line to pack food boxes, then sit down together at a beautifully set table right on the warehouse floor — dignity and hope served alongside lunch.
Coffee with Lola
A shorter, easier way to stay involved. Coffee with Lola is a casual morning gathering for women who want to connect with the mission without carving out a whole afternoon — good coffee, good conversation, and a simple way to stay engaged between the bigger events.
Autumn with Lola
A seasonal gathering that brings women together as the year turns toward harvest and gratitude. Autumn with Lola pairs that same spirit of service and connection with the warmth of fall — a chance to give back together before the holiday season arrives.
Christmas with Lola
Our holiday gathering, focused on making sure families across Middle Tennessee don't go without during the season of giving. Christmas with Lola pairs hands-on service with holiday connection at one of the year's highest seasons of need.
