The Harrison Family YMCA and Lakeside Church are proud to partner together to bring The Longest Table movement to Rocky Mount!
Originally started in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York after the COVID-19 pandemic, The Longest Table began as a simple outdoor potluck where neighbors gathered around one long table to share a meal. Today, it has grown into a nationwide movement across all 50 states focused on strengthening relationships and building community through free shared meals.
This event is about connection — bringing people from all walks of life together around food and friendship.
