This free community gathering is open to everyone, with a special welcome to anyone needing warmth, connection, or a good meal this season.

We’ll be serving a hearty hot lunch from 12 pm–2 pm, along with warm drinks, desserts, and a craft table where guests can make holiday cards or small gifts for loved ones. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, and low-barrier — a place to sit, breathe, and feel part of the community.

You’re invited to come for a meal, volunteer your time, or simply share space with others during a tender time of year.

Ways to support:

• Help with setup (10 am–12 pm) or cleanup (2 pm–3 pm)

• Bring cold-weather items or small giveaways for guests

• Share information from your organization for our resource table

• Spread the word

Everyone is welcome. No registration needed — just come as you are.
