Join us for a delightful evening at the Welcome Neighbor STL Fundraiser Dinner, an event dedicated to assisting our organization in its efforts to support refugee families within the St. Louis community. This special gathering invites you to enjoy delicious food, meaningful conversations, and the opportunity to connect with both old and new friends. From cultural exchange to simply celebrating life together, the evening promises to be a memorable experience.

These fundraising dinners are more than just meals; they are a celebration of knowledge, culture, and community. As refugee families share their culinary expertise and cultural traditions, attendees gain a deeper understanding of their unique heritage. The funds raised through this initiative empower these families, setting them on a path toward greater independence and confidence as they build their lives in the United States.

Your meal will be lovingly prepared by refugee neighbors, who will present a table filled with traditional dishes from their countries of origin. This is not just an opportunity to savor authentic international cuisine but also to witness the beauty of cultural exchange and the stories shared through food.

The event will be held on Friday, June 20th. from 5:30 pm-9 pm at our new office at First Unitarian Church at 5007 Waterman Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63108. We look forward to seeing you there!

We warmly invite you to come and be part of this meaningful evening. Celebrate the rich diversity of cultures through International Cuisine From All Over The World, support refugee families, and enjoy the joy of community. Together, we can make a difference in their lives and create lasting memories.
We hope you will come and join us!
