A common family ritual such as gathering around a table and sharing a meal encourages a healthy family dynamic. Pre-fabricated, self-sustaining support centers provide a "table" at which the community can lay the foundation for building healthy relationships.

This structure, composed of shipping pallets is designed to be built by the community, and will result in a nurturing place that the community can call its own.
Organized in an ashlar pattern to emphasis building a foundation, the hinged plastic tables facilitate conversation. They can be raised for dining functions and lowered for a multi-purpose meeting space.
Charitable organization supply trucks can directly access the kitchen module for convenient unloading.
The shipping pallets are not only used for the structure of the building, but also for the produce garden, children drawing boards, floor pillows, and dish storage.
