At The Open Table, we believe that love isn’t just something we talk about—it’s something we do.

This September, we’re coming together to support Haitian immigrant families in Springfield, Ohio, who are facing difficult circumstances and food insecurity.

Want to help? It’s easy!

• Sign up to purchase items from the needed-items list
• Drop off your donations at The Open Table, 3615 Socialville Foster Rd., Suite C
• Donations are being collected now through October 11

The collected food will be delivered to Lebanon, where it will be boxed and then distributed to families through St. Vincent de Paul. Every item helps. Every contribution matters. And together, we can turn compassion into loving action.

This is a big deal. On Wednesday, September 2, I have the incredible privilege of welcoming author and journalist Nico Lang for a conversation about their groundbreaking book, “American Teenager: How Trans Kids Are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era.”

And moderating the conversation? Jim Obergefell—the civil rights activist whose name is on the landmark Supreme Court case that brought marriage equality to all 50 states.

Yes. Nico Lang and Jim Obergefell. Here. In Lebanon, Ohio.

There’s something especially meaningful about bringing this conversation to Lebanon. Nico grew up just down the road in Milford, Jim calls the Cincinnati area home, and now they’ll be together in Lebanon for an evening centered on the real lives, experiences, challenges, and joy of transgender young people.

Nico has also been on what is literally the longest book tour in history, traveling across the country to bring these stories into communities large and small. I am incredibly excited that Lebanon gets to be one of them.

This is the kind of conversation I believe deeply in creating: one that moves beyond headlines and political talking points and gives us the opportunity to listen, learn, ask better questions, and see one another more fully.

Author Nico Lang in Conversation with Jim Obergefell
Wednesday, September 2 • 6:30 PM
Resurrection Lutheran Church • Lebanon, Ohio

Hosted by Q***r Allyship, in partnership with PFLAG Lebanon/Warren County.

Please come. Bring a friend. Share this with someone who needs to know it’s happening.

Because conversations like this belong everywhere—including right here in Lebanon.
