Gahanna/John E. Bickley YMCA

Join us on Tuesday, September 29 from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. for The Big Table®! This is a FREE annual, community-wide day of conversation designed to inspire civic engagement and connection, led by The Columbus Foundation . At a time when many people feel lonely or disconnected, creating space for genuine human connection matters more than ever. Through intentional dialogue, Big Table participants are encouraged to meet new people, share their lived experiences and actively listen to build a kinder, more connected community where everyone has a seat at the table.
