A Home Is More Than Four Walls: What Creates Stability and Belonging?

Having a place to live is essential, but a home is more than a roof and four walls. Together, we’ll explore what people need to feel safe, stable, connected, and part of their community, and consider how all of us can help create communities where everyone has the opportunity to belong.

About The Big Table

The Big Table® is an annual community-wide event and initiative of The Columbus Foundation designed to inspire civic engagement, meaningful conversation, and connection across Central Ohio.

At a time when many people feel increasingly isolated or disconnected, creating opportunities for genuine human connection matters more than ever. Through intentional dialogue, Big Table participants are invited to meet new people, share their experiences and perspectives, listen to one another, and explore how we can build a kinder, stronger, and more connected community—where everyone has a seat at the table.

The Big Table is free and open to all!
