WORKERS ARE IN CRISIS.

CARING FOR THEM STRATEGICALLY IMPACTS THE WHOLE COMMUNITY. One in six lives

below the poverty line. Most don’t have basic benefits. And a large part of the
workforce is comprised of our most vulnerable neighbors — single parents, income
insecure seniors, at-risk teens, immigrants, and those formerly incarcerated ready to
make a new start. Many struggle with addiction and mental health issues. Many are
barely hanging on. And when someone does fall, there’s not a safety net to catch them.

BIG TABLE. BIG NET. At Big Table, we meet folks at the exact moment of need with

exactly the help they need. Our mission is to catch people before they fall, build
intentional relationships, and to offer direction and hope. Here’s how.

ROBBIE’S STORY. Robbie was a meth addict who has been sober for 10 years. But his teeth —

as damaged as they were — had him eternally labeled an addict. His
culinary school instructor referred Robbie to Big Table because he was
“the greatest guy, he just needs teeth.” Big Table was able to help give
Robbie a new set of teeth. Today, Robbie smiles without a care and is
enjoying a thriving new career in graphic design.

PETER & JESSICA’S STORY. We first met Peter and Jessica when they were in desperate need

of baby supplies. And since, we’ve walked alongside them through job
loss, a post-felony job search, eviction notices, waves of debt, and
addiction battles. Our 7-year lifeline of support and encouragement has
helped change the trajectory of their lives.“It’s not even the same
world,” Peter and Jessica tell us.“It’s not even the same life.”
