Celebrating Community, Connection, and Gratitude
Our annual Chosen Family Potluck is a Friendsgiving celebration for the LGBTQIA+ community and allies. It's a welcoming and fun-filled evening of food, connection, and gratitude where we gather to celebrate the love and support of our chosen families. Join us for great food, new friendships, and a heartwarming holiday season celebration!
As the holiday season draws near, we invite you to join the Chosen Family Potluck—an all-ages event designed to bring together the LGBTQIA+ community and our allies for a warm and festive Friendsgiving. This event is about celebrating the people we choose to call family, sharing a meal, and creating new memories with friends, old and new.
Here’s what to expect:
- Welcome & Mingling: The event kicks off at 4:00 PM with casual mingling and time to get to know fellow attendees.
- Dinner Served: At 5:30 PM, we’ll share a potluck-style meal, offering a variety of dishes from community members. You are encouraged to bring a dish, but it’s not required—there’s always plenty of food to go around! Please note, if you do bring a dish, we ask that you provide a list of ingredients to accommodate those with dietary restrictions.
- Games & Activities: Throughout the evening, feel free to bring your own activities to share with others. We’ll have some community games and crafts available to keep the fun going!
- Community Building: The Chosen Family Potluck is more than just a meal; it's a time to celebrate the importance of chosen family and build connections within our diverse community. We’ll have moments during the evening to express gratitude, share stories, and foster a sense of belonging.
- All Are Welcome: Whether you’re attending alone, with friends, or bringing your family, everyone is welcome to join in on the celebration. This is a safe and inclusive space where you can be yourself, connect with others, and enjoy the warmth of our LGBTQIA+ community.
