FRAMINGHAM – David Blais, who co-founded Daniel’s Table with his wife Alicia, announced today, November 20, he will step down as the executive director of the organization as of November 24.

“It has been an inspiring 10 years and a life changing time for Alicia and I. Together our team has been instrumental in helping those most challenged in our community find a safe resource for healthy food and we are thankful to all of the volunteers and donors that made it all possible. Over the years there have been thousands of stories, tears of sorrow and joy and plenty of laughs. This has been the most rewarding time in my life and a bigger calling makes this the perfect time to step away,” posted Blais on social media.
