LET'S SERVE HOPE, SAN DIEGO
Big Table’s third location launched in San Diego in early 2019. San Diego is home to over 7000 restaurants, 500 hotels and there are roughly 205,000 employed in the industry. The average cost of living for a Single Parent with One Child is $117,990 and yet the average Industry pay for a full-time employee is $42,200 (Source: MIT Wage Calculator). Big Table comes alongside these hardworking individuals when they experience a temporary setback to offer support, encouragement, and hope.
There is so much work to do to care for our San Diego industry workers.

Taking on the world
I can never thank God enough for you man. I don’t know if you know this but what you guys do, it’s amazing. You give hope to people like us.
We try to catch people before they fall, but we actually met Edgar because he fell at work. Edgar is an exceptional busboy who has faithfully worked for a restaurant over 10 years. He was referred to Big Table by a caring patron after learning he had been struggling – and even tripping – because of progressing Multiple Sclerosis left untreated for 12 years due to lack of health insurance. Within 24 hours of meeting with his care coordinator, he saw a doctor who prescribed critical medications. Edgar finally has excellent health care coverage and is successfully keeping MS flare ups down. Perhaps most importantly, Edgar found a truly unconditional friendship during his hardest moments. Edgar feels so good that he now can “take on the world.”
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.
