Bring a Dish! 🍲

The Gathering is a potluck, and we'd love for you to bring something to share! We'll also have a catered meal with halal, vegetarian, vegan and allergy-aware options, so there will be plenty for everyone. A family recipe, a grocery-store favorite, a dessert or drinks all count!

🥜🚫 Please note: The Gathering is a nut-free event. To keep everyone safe, please make sure your dish has no nuts, peanuts, or nut-based ingredients like nut oils, almond flour or nut butters.
