A mile-long table with food created an environment in Colorado for people to talk and 'feel like they belong'
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints joined with others in the community in Denver, Colorado, on Saturday, July 26, to combat loneliness.
They set up a mile of tables and chairs -- snaking through the Auraria Campus in downtown Denver -- and then filled the tables with food along with Longer Tables, an organization working to create environments "where all people -- no matter their story, background or identity -- are connected, seen and feel like they belong."
People in the community were invited to come and share a meal with people they didn't know in an effort to build new connections.
