Message from our Board Chair

Dan Erb
Manager, Able Label
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to thank those of you who have trusted us with your gifts of time and finances. I literally was raised in the hospitality business as my father started a career in the restaurant business while I was in kindergarten. I then followed in his footsteps spending over 30 years in the hotel industry so I know how many in this industry are right on the edge. Our mission is to truly impact and transform the lives of those working in the restaurant and hospitality industry by building community and caring for those in crisis, transition, or falling through the cracks.
Whether you are a long-time friend of Big Table or just learning about us, be assured that every dollar that comes into our organization is an investment in helping change the lives of people hurting in the hospitality industry. We are committed to our donors to be thoughtful with our decisions, remain focused on providing transformational care, help build community in the restaurant and hospitality industry, and be good stewards of your invested dollars.
The need is great and only getting greater. From each care recipient, family member, staff member, and director, we thank you for your gifts and, if you are a person of faith, your prayers.
With deep gratitude,
Dan Erb
