Christopher Hyder

Drawn to The Friendship Table and St. Mary’s by the simple kindness, compassion and welcome he encountered along the way, Chris is continuously seeking to grow in faith, fellowship and service while sharing a table with all fellow seekers .
Chris was born and raised here in High Point with a deep rooted seed for community and welcome!

Tori Danielik

A UNC Chapel Hill graduate with degrees in English and Dramatic Art, Tori was drawn to our program as a way to live out her faith through tangible service, believing that Christians have a responsibility to display the radical, boundless love that Jesus demonstrated.

Confirmed in the Episcopal Church at age 11, Tori sees her work with The Friendship Table as an opportunity to grow spiritually through regular prayer, study, and reflection while helping to "make Earth as it is in heaven." With a background in theatre and storytelling, combined with her passion for music as spiritual practice, uniquely positions her to contribute to our ministry's mission of addressing food insecurity and building community connections.
