Help the Day Run Smoothly
Many hands make light work. If you can arrive a little early or stay a bit late, please add your name to the volunteer list. Your help with tables, trash and light cleanup keeps the celebration warm and welcoming for everyone.
Pro Tips for Your Dish
- Label common allergens (nuts, dairy, gluten) when possible.
- Bring a serving utensil for your dish.
- Pick something that travels well and can sit at room temperature for a short time.
A Table Big Enough for Everyone
This potluck isn’t about perfect recipes. It’s about showing up, sharing what you can and making space for one another. Come hungry, bring a favorite dish and help set a long table where neighbors become friends.
