Setting the Table
Flash Tables are intentional community gatherings where neighbors — regardless of background or circumstance — are invited to sit, be served, and experience genuine dignity and love. William Spence describes them as more than a meal program; they are a theological and human statement that every person belongs.
If you’d like to set a Flash Table in your city, we provide a free Table Leadership Training Course to prepare coordinators and volunteers to plan, mobilize, execute community gatherings where neighbors are welcomed, served, and dignified through shared meals and genuine human connection.
