About On The Table Philly

On Oct. 17, 2019, Philadelphia area residents are invited to again gather in small groups across the region to share a meal and discuss the opportunities and issues we face in our communities.

 

These conversations can inspire new ways we can work together to make our communities stronger, safer and more dynamic.
