…thank you for creating such an amazing space, in creating TheTable for women like myself, that I believe will last forever!
One study found the most pronounced difference between happy and unhappy people was their level of social connection.

I went on a “blind [friend] date” with a woman who found me through TheTable (its directory). She was awesome!
Wendy
[TheTable is] definitely doing a lot to help bring people together! Thank you for all the effort!
Bonnie
Thanks for all that you do in supporting and providing the platform for women in the Triangle. I’ve met some great ladies.
Margot
Being new to Raleigh, I was saying to a friend on the phone one day how I really hoped I could meet some people soon. It was either later that day or the next day that an Instagram ad popped up for TheTable. I have enjoyed every event I’ve been to and met wonderful women! I’m very grateful that I learned about TheTable!
Amy
TheTableRDU has helped me to connect to other women and share in experiences that I would not have done on my own.

We’re a community of women who value connection, friendship and opportunities for goodwill.
After you create a profile you can engage in community posts and get to know fellow members.
Members can communicate through group posts or meet in-person for a meal, activity or act of goodwill. They can also find other women who are going through similar hardships (e.g. divorce, cancer, grief, etc.).
Members can engage the Community Feed, explore events on our community calendar, and send direct messages to one another. Profiles and groups contain zip codes so members can connect with women who specifically live near them.
