As part of the Fund to Foster Belonging Grant by Welcoming America, Wave Pool is hosting monthly community building dinners where each month a different topic of concern and interest is focused on. Each dinner features the food of a local home chef and an interactive art piece by a local artist that will gather community input, stories, and feedback regarding the topic at hand.

Additionally we will have local officials and experts on the designated topic present at the dinners each month and assist with writing intros and how-to sections for each chapter of the resulting Welcoming Handbook. 

The themes for the dinner are decided on based on community concerns voiced through online social channels, the community council meetings, neighbor testimonials, and on-going community surveys Wave Pool conducts. 

Participants will come to these dinners for the free food, to discuss the pertinent topics at hand, and to experience multi-cultural art making and food experiences. 

To the right is a rough schedule of the past and upcoming dinners. Please be sure to check our event calendar for the most up to date listings, locations, and times.
