The Same House non-profit hosts ‘Tables Across America’ to bring community leaders together

ORANGE CITY, Iowa (KTIV) - A non-profit out of Atlanta Georgia is making efforts across the United States to bridge the gap between communities. The Same House organization started one and a half years ago and made its way to Orange City to host a ‘Tables across America’ breakfast. During the breakfast, local businesses, non-profits and individual community leaders communicated about the collective impact and solving their community needs together. Participants took a moment at the breakfast to take ‘The Same House Pledge.’ The pledge is the community committing to “come together to do good together.” At the Arts on Central celebration, more community members got the opportunity to take the pledge as well.

As we navigate the complexities of today's social and economic landscape, it's clear that true leadership in philanthropy goes beyond charity—it involves strategic, sustained efforts to solve systemic issues.
