Why a “kitchen table”?
During Imagine More’s earliest years, most of our work was done speaking with families around somebody’s kitchen table, often with a cup of tea close at hand. These informal, comfortable settings helped to foster open and honest conversations, allowing us to connect deeply with families and truly understand their needs.
We love the energy of kitchen table conversations and aim to bring this warmth and openness to our Drop-In Day. By creating a similar atmosphere, we want everyone to feel valued, heard, and supported and to encourage meaningful conversations.
