Chapter 35: Weekly servers in the kitchen and at table (paragraphs 3-4)

One hour before the time of a meal those serving in the kitchen and at table should each receive a drink and some bread in addition to their regular portion. This will help them to serve the community at mealtime without stress and without murmuring about their lot.

(From para. 3 of Ch. 35 of Saint Benedict's Rule, trans. by Patrick Barry OSB, 1997.)

To me this seems to be a way of authentically saying "what's mine is yours", this loving impulse to serve the server. I see it as a way of holding nothing back, a way of community, a way of unified consciousness.
