FEATURED EVENTS

The Longest Table - Queens

Saturday, September 12, 2026- Renew Queens will be partnering with Wellspring Church and Manducatis Rustica for The Longest Table — a free community event where everyone’s welcome to pull up a chair. We live in a moment of deep disconnection. Where neighbors don’t know each other’s names and loneliness is at an all-time high. And the things that once brought us together — shared meals, open doors, public life — have quietly faded. But on September 12 we’re setting the biggest one yet.
Dates:

12 pm - 2 pm

46th Road between Vernon Blvd and 11th Street LIC, NY 11101
