Community Guidelines

Welcome to The Family Table.

The Family Table exists to bring families together through shared meals, cultural exchange, kindness, and human connection. Our community is built on trust, respect, openness, and care for one another.

These Community Guidelines are intended to help create safe, welcoming, and positive experiences for everyone who participates on our Platform.

By participating in experiences through The Family Table, you agree to follow these Guidelines in addition to our Terms & Conditions and other applicable policies.

We do not tolerate:

Experiences often take place in private homes and personal spaces.

Guests should:

• treat homes and belongings respectfully;
• follow reasonable household rules;
• communicate openly and politely;

Food is central to The Family Table experience.

Hosts should make reasonable efforts to:

The Family Table cannot guarantee allergen-free environments.

The Family Table celebrates cultural exchange and diversity.
