Fun fact over 70% of the world’s alpaca population lives in Peru🦙

Come join us October 23rd at the Paradise Point Resort and Spa for our big annual fundraiser, Eats Around The World! This fundraiser goes towards supporting restaurant and hospitality workers who have fallen through the cracks.

Help serve hope to those that serve us by getting your tickets today through the link in our bio ❤️

We serve hope. Because of the generosity of champions of all kinds, Big Table can step into situations that seem hopeless and flip the script, build capacity, and change the trajectory of someone’s life.

One incredible longtime Big Table supporter is Tito’s Handmade Vodka. They have been on a mission with us to care for those in crisis who work in the restaurant and hospitality industry for years.

Recently, thanks to Love, Tito’s, the philanthropic heart of Tito’s Handmade Vodka, they provided an incredibly generous gift to help our San Diego care team serve those struggling with housing stability.

This gift will specifically help workers who have found themselves wrestling with homelessness, living out of their cars, opening empty refrigerators, or having trouble paying their utility bills. Workers that can’t catch a break will find help and hope. Now, that’s what we call LOVE.

Thank you, Tito’s, for being amazing. We are honored to serve hope…and LOVE alongside you.

Congratulations to Big Table Executive Director an

Congratulations to Big Table Executive Director and Founder Kevin Finch for being awarded @whitworthuniversity Distinguished Community Service Award.

What an wonderful tribute to the care and hope provided to industry workers in crisis since the founding of Big Table in 2009 … right here in Spokane.

We are so thankful that he saw the need behind the smiles of industry workers as a food critic all those years ago … and decided to follow the calling to step out in faith to do something about it.

Fast forward and teams are now caring in 4 cities (Spokane/Palouse, San Diego, Nashville, and Colorado Springs) with hopes to further expand Big Table care across the country. Thousands of people have found transformational hope and empowerment through Big Table’s unique care model of triage crisis support rooted in authentic relationship. ❤️

Thank you, Kevin. We love you and your huge, compassionate heart!

Big Table was founded in 2009. At that time, there

Big Table was founded in 2009. At that time, there was not one single non-profit out of 1.5 million in the US that served the restaurant and hospitality industry. What makes that stunning is that this group is the largest working population in the nation with the highest concentration of need. Invasive poverty combined with staggering levels of addiction and mental health issues. So many are barely hanging on without a safety net to catch them if they fall. Big Table remains the only non-profit serving this population with both triage crisis care and ongoing mentoring and relational support. Our mission... to serve hope. And we can't do it without the support of Big Table champions. If you can give a gift of hope, we would be so grateful. Visit big-table.com to learn more.

One of the ways that we serve hope to the restaura

One of the ways that we serve hope to the restaurant and hospitality industry is through housing stability support. We are seeing more and more need in this impact area because of the skyrocketing cost of rent and minimal availability in some markets. Everyone deserves a warm, safe space to come home to after working long, hard hours.

Thanks to our generous Big Table community, we are ready to help. Big Table can step in to help to find and secure stable housing. We can also cover rent during a challenging financial season to help someone get back on their feet.

If you can give a gift, we'd be so honored... the need is still at a critical level. Learn more about how you can help serve hope to those in crisis at big-table.com.

"Mary" stepped down from executive housekeeper pos

"Mary" stepped down from executive housekeeper position as she was having seizures over the past few months. She has been attending to her health and working to find the cause of them. She is a single mother with no other familial support. The cost of the diagnostic procedures and time away from work to attend appointments has taken a toll on her financially and emotionally as they do not know what is wrong.

This is exactly why Big Table is here. We walk alongside people like "Mary" through some of the toughest parts of their lives. To help take the sting off the financial burden they are facing and serve hope in situations that might seem hopeless. Learn more about Big Table care and how you can help at big-table.com.

"Mark" lost his job today. He has a drinking problem that he is losing the fight with. He was kicked out of his house and has been homeless for a week. He claims to have tried to get help through the VA, but there is a 30-day waitlist. Basically, "Mark" needs to get to recovery and a roof over his head to start. He is in crisis.

This is why we are here. For people like "Mark" who needs someone in his corner - to help stabilize a very volatile situation. Learn more about Big Table care and how you can get involved at big-table.com.
