After all our impactful work as a community—facilitating workshops, volunteering, donating, and finding us if you’re new—we all deserve a day to meet one another, laugh under the sun, share stories over yummy and nutritious food, and strengthen the bonds that guide our mission. No agendas, no objectives, no asks—come just for the pure, joyful connection.
