ROCKY RIVER -- On Sunday, you can set your fears aside.
The Cleveland Foundation knows how hard it can be to strike up a conversation with a stranger, even harder when you don't think you have anything in common.
Common Ground is a safe space to eat and connect with people you don't know by attending a breakfast, lunch or dinner set up by hosts.
It all happens in one day, in over 100 different communities across Northeast Ohio. There's no shortage of options, because hosts can invite friends to their homes, business owners can hold events in their offices or public spaces, or congregations can host in their houses of worship.
The goal of the the event is to have community conversations, open the door of communication and begin change to build a safer, stronger place to live.
The event starts Sunday at 9 a.m. and ends at 9 p.m., with meals any time in between.
