Food, Fun and Fellowship, a weekly program at Sunnydale, wrapped up for the summer with a vibrant community potluck. Tables overflowed with homemade dishes from around the world, each one carrying the rich aromas, favorite flavors, and heartfelt stories of the people who made them. More than just a meal, it was a joyful way for participants to share a piece of who they are.
Cooking was never the main focus of the program. It’s about uniting individuals from diverse backgrounds and fostering a genuine feeling of community. Every new member has a unique journey and story to tell, and individuals who were once strangers now encourage one another, laugh together, and exchange recipes.
As everyone gathered together, sampling different cuisines and sharing their country’s customs, a strong sense of community filled the room. It was a place where people felt welcome, could learn from one another, gain appreciation for other cultures, and take pride in their own.
Many thanks to everyone who prepared, shared, and contributed to making it such a special day. It was the ideal way to commemorate all that this group has accomplished together this summer.
Thank you for making programs like this possible. Your generous support creates safe spaces for newcomers to feel at home, connect with others, and build relationships that will last a lifetime.
