Pull Up a Seat at the Table: KCCF Community Table Brings Community Together

The Kearny County Community Foundation (KCCF) invites residents from across Kearny County to gather for an evening of food, family, and community connection at the upcoming KCCF Community Table on Friday, June 12, 2026, at 6:00 PM at the Kearny County Fair Building.

Designed to bring people together in a welcoming and family-friendly setting, KCCF Community Table is more than just a dinner — it is an opportunity to connect with neighbors, enjoy a great meal, and learn more about the role KCCF plays in strengthening local communities.

One of the biggest questions organizers have received is: “What is the purpose of the dinner?”

The answer is simple.

KCCF Community Table is not a fundraiser. Ticket sales are intended to simply cover the cost of the meal and event expenses.

Instead, the evening is focused on community awareness and connection — helping residents learn more about the Kearny County Community Foundation, the opportunities it supports, and the impact community foundations can have right here at home.

“KCCF Community Table is really about bringing people together,” said Kaiya Harmon, KCCF Board Member. “We wanted to create something that feels welcoming and community-centered — a chance to sit down, share a meal, connect with neighbors, and help more people understand what KCCF is and the ways it can support Kearny County.”

Harmon emphasized that the dinner is intentionally designed to be approachable and family-friendly.

“We’ve had several people ask if this is a fundraiser, and the answer is no,” Harmon said. “Ticket sales simply cover the meal. The real purpose is awareness, connection, and helping people learn about KCCF and the impact community foundations can have locally.”

Attendees can expect:
-A delicious family-friendly meal
-Time to gather and connect with neighbors and friends
-Fun raffle prizes
-An opportunity to learn more about KCCF and its community impact
