Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the courage of the first responders, volunteers, service members, and everyday heroes who answered tragedy with extraordinary compassion.

Twenty-five years later, we remain united in remembrance, gratitude, and hope. We will never forget.

🍽️ THE PATH TO THE TABLE

🙌 HANDS THAT BUILD THE TABLE: VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Service creates connection!

This week along The Path to the Table, we are recognizing the Table Hosts who help turn a shared meal into an opportunity for meaningful conversation and new relationships.

Would you like to serve as a Table Host this year? Visit HIVE to explore the available volunteer roles and shifts:

https://volunteer.uwiredell.org/agency/detail/?agency_id=156111

Past volunteers often reflect on the people they met while serving—neighbors they may never have encountered during their everyday routines. Sometimes, one thoughtful question or welcoming conversation is all it takes to discover a new connection.

Table Hosts help welcome guests, lead conversations and encourage everyone at their table to participate. They help guests get to know one another, keep the conversation flowing and create an atmosphere where every person feels comfortable, included and engaged.

To every past Table Host who has asked a thoughtful question, listened to a neighbor’s story or helped someone join the conversation: thank you. Your support has demonstrated The Power of We and helped turn community service into community connection.

📅 Sunday, September 27, 2026
🕐 Community dinner begins at 1:00 p.m.
📍 Mooresville, NC

Start a conversation. Help neighbors connect. Be part of the welcome.

Every person. Every partner. Every act of service. Together, we set the table.

Coca-Cola Consolidated supports the Longest Table because it brings people from all walks of life together to share a meal, enjoy meaningful conversations and build lasting connections.

Founded in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1902 and now headquartered in Charlotte, Coca-Cola Consolidated has deep roots in our state. As our local Coca-Cola bottler, the company strengthens the communities where its teammates live and work through volunteerism, community partnerships and local engagement.

As Coca-Cola Consolidated shared:
“A stronger community begins when we honor God, serve others, pursue excellence and work together to make a positive difference in the lives of those around us.”

When neighbors from different backgrounds gather for a shared meal and meaningful conversation, they create opportunities to build understanding, strengthen relationships and celebrate their community. Even a brief connection can have a lasting impact.

Thank you, Coca-Cola Bottling Consolidated, for supporting the Longest Table and helping us create an experience centered on fellowship, connection and community—with an ice-cold Coca-Cola beverage at the table!
