It takes a lot to get these community dinners going, and as we are just getting started, there are a lot of supplies we still need. If you are able to help us out, we have made an Amazon list of some of our top needs. Please click the button above. Thank you so much for your support.
Our monthly community dinners are a joint venture between Butterfly Boxes and Catholic Charities of Oregon's office of refugee resettlement, and are a great opportunity to come together with our newest neighbors and offer an in-person welcome. Bring a favorite dish to share (no pork products, please), and a desire to connect with someone whose story might differ from yours.
Dinners are held one Thursday a month (see above for the next date), from 5:30-7:30 pm at Catholic Charities' office (address above). If you are interested in attending, please click the link above for to let us know you are coming and sign up for a dish. If you are interested in volunteering at this event (don't worry, you'll still have plenty of time to eat and visit!), you can also sign up for a shift at the link above. If you are interested in hosting a dinner (a great opportunity for a service organization or office group), please visit the Host a Dinner page for more information.
