All of us, regardless of race, income, or zip code, should be able to live with a foundation of economic security and stability. That's why we were excited to host a Big Table conversation today about boosting the economic security of families in Franklin County. Thanks to everyone who joined us and to the Columbus Foundation for creating space to connect, learn, and discuss innovative ideas, like Economic Mobility Investments, that can make a difference in the lives of people in our community. #RISETogether #RTII #TheBigTable
