Serving Colorado Springs

let's serve hope, colorado springs

Big Table launched in Colorado Springs in March, 2023. Nearly 41,000 people work in Accommodation and Food Services and make up more than 12% of the Colorado Springs Metro area workforce. The average cost of living for a Single Parent with One Child is $96,011 and yet the average Industry pay for a full-time employee is $40,060 (Source: MIT Wage Calculator). Caring for them strategically impacts the whole community.

Big Table comes alongside these hardworking people when they experience a temporary setback to offer support, encouragement, and hope. Caring for them strategically will impact the whole community.

There is so much work to do to care for our Colorado Springs industry workers.

Hope through Homelessness

Big Table showed me I am worthy, smart, and capable and made starting over possible. I’m looking forward to the future.

Rae’s mission to care for her daughter was pushed to the limit when she found herself living in a shelter and at risk of losing her truck—the way she could get to work and safely transport her child. After a referral from the shelter, Big Table jumped in as mission control—covering her truck payment, updating her insurance, and partnering with Family Hope Center and Partners in Housing to help her secure transitional housing. Through coffee check-ins and steady support, Rae has rebuilt her footing, taking on more hours at work and focusing on her health.

let’s do this. . . together

Join our grassroots Big Table Care Movement by simply bringing hope to those in need by intentionally caring for restaurant and hospitality workers in your everyday life. It could be as simple as giving out Unexpected 20s.
