Serving Spokane

let's serve hope in spokane

Big Table has been headquartered in Spokane since 2009. Spokane’s restaurant and hospitality industry employs nearly 24,000 people and is the 4th largest employment sector in Spokane County. Nearly half of those employees fall below the “survival” income line set by economists.

Big Table comes alongside these hardworking people when they experience a crisis or an unexpected challenge to offer support, encouragement, and hope.

We have so much work to do to care for Spokane industry workers.

Room to Breathe

I wouldn’t be where I am today without the care I received from Miranda and Big Table! I’m so incredibly thankful!

Danielle is a kind and loving single mother. She is a hard-working sous chef who had just broken up with her long-term partner. Danielle and her daughter had limited time to move out of her ex’s house and get into a new place they could call home. Her boss, seeing the growing problem, referred Danielle for Big Table care. Danielle’s care coordinator, Miranda, connected her with a Numerica Credit Union housing program that would be a perfect fit for her family. Having a fierce go-getter attitude, Danielle immediately applied, completed the required courses, and was approved! Her new home needed to be outfitted, so we took Danielle shopping for a new bedframe and other household items. At a later Industry Dinner, Danielle was surprised with a gift card bouquet for many different home goods stores to finish decking out her place. With a solid budget in place and a roof over their heads, Big Table helped Danielle and her daughter finally find the room to breathe.

let’s do this. . . together
