From Tucson to Flagstaff

News that the faith, government, business and non-profit communities can collaborate to restore people in poverty to the community is traveling across Arizona. In about 60 days, Pantano Christian Church in Tucson will launch the first Table in Pima County. Pima County has more than 500 faith communities. Three hundred miles north, in Flagstaff, we are now in the launch planning process with congregations located in Coconino County, with more than 125 faith communities. Soon, we’ll announce that Tables will be launching in a country 7,000 miles from Phoenix!
I would like to know how I can establish in a small rural area of Arizona something like you have accomplished with Open Table. I am not sure how to go about partnering with businesses and churches to achieve this. There is so much poverty and I work with families amd a community that would benefit tremendously from this. Would there be any way that I could set up for you to come and speak to leaders in this community?

Hi Shirley, thank you very much for the opportunity to share the Open Table story in Sierra Vista. I just emailed you to see if we can select a date. Faith. Jon
