“Voices have to be heard and the people who are positive about the changed we can make, we need to hear them,” said Jarvis Hamilton, community activist with Overflo Outreach.
"On The Table allows us to have more human-to-human interactions and more face-to-face conversations. And it also gives us the safe space where we can talk about the kind of touchy issues," said Dr. Stefan Lawrence, assistant principal of Aaron Cohn Middle School.
This year marks the third year in a row that Community Foundation of the Chattahoochee Valley has hosted the community-wide event.
