On Friday, April 17th. at 6 PM, Gathering UMC Nomads invites you to a Welcome Neighbor STL Supper Club to support immigrant and refugee families in St. Louis. Enjoy food, conversation, and catching up with friends – old and new. From cultural exchange to just plain fun, look forward to a great evening.

These meals present an opportunity for immigrant and refugee families to share knowledge and skills unique to them. It is also an opportunity for us to get a glimpse into their culture. These fundraising efforts can set them on a path of greater independence and confidence in their lives here in the USA.

In addition to enjoying the dinner, you can also contribute to our Unhoused Meal Program using the link at the bottom of the page. Every other Friday, our chefs prepare free meals to feed 100 unhoused individuals at the Peter and Paul Community Campus. Your donations will help us purchase groceries and other materials that our chefs need to prepare the food. We appreciate your generosity!
