WTF is Happening With Food

You’re welcome to bring something to contribute, but if you can’t, please come anyway.
Come be fed, be heard, and be nourished by your community.

• Bring spare cash to support local food pantries
• Contribute a “Dollar Tree Dinner””
  Print a simple recipe, buy the ingredients, place them in a plastic bag, and share it with a community member who needs it
• Bring a food item to share (optional), but not required at all

We want this to be accessible for everyone.

• A soup bowl
• A spoon
• A to-go container (to help us stay sustainable and so everyone can take food home)

• A warm meal shared together
• A casual space to reflect on what it means to be nourished
• Listening circles where everyone’s voice matters
• Art-based reflection activities
• Local organizations offering resources, education, and community action steps
• Guests leaving with leftovers or a take-home meal

Community members experiencing food insecurity will be prioritized.

Your RSVP helps us prepare enough food and ensures we can welcome everyone with care.
