ORGANIZATION: LONGER TABLES

image_20250520151653

On July 26th, Longer Tables will set America’s longest table on Auraria Campus in downtown Denver, and will be one of the most powerful, connective and hope-filled gatherings our city (and the nation) will see this year!

Longer Tables believes the table and shared meal is perhaps the most inclusive and humanizing place on the planet - with the potential to meaningfully connect diverse groups of people, inspire good and bring a true sense of belonging to the city.

Now, the Mile High City is setting a table as long as the city is high - in altitude!

We have four volunteer shifts, beginning Friday night.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to bring people from all walks of life together to create connection + belonging through shared meals.

Description

Longer Tables ( website) is a Denver-based, non-profit committed to seeing cities and organizations everywhere become places where people experience true connection and belonging.

Believing in the power of the long table to connect people, celebrate diversity and be an equitable place of solidarity, they bring people from all walks of life together to create connection & belonging through shared meals.

Since 2013, over 3,500 guests have connected at over 50+ tables in communities and organizations.

From cross-cultural 'community tables’ of 80-130 people to large events such as the upcoming Mile-Long Table, to helping cities and organizations create cultures of connection and belonging, Longer Tables believes the common table and shared meal holds the explosive potential to rehumanize people, battle loneliness, fight division and create an effective and powerful place for collaboration.
