Free to Feed's Story Table Series

Overview

Social Enterprise Free to Feed knows better than most, the power that food has to connect people and communities. It regularly works with its culinarily gifted participants to run dinners where people from all backgrounds can come together to better understand the experiences and needs of refugees and people seeking asylum. 

Money made during these nights also feeds right into supporting those within said communities. 

The latest Free to Feed venture comes in the form of The Story Table — a dinner series that spotlighta the voices and experiences of refugees and individuals seeking asylum. The first two dinners — named 'Beyond Arrival' — are taking place on Friday, October 11 and Friday, October 18, both led by led by Bahaa — a refugee from Aleppo — and Thae — a Karen woman from Burma.  

Guests will enjoy a large pescatarian feast, featuring dishes like sabzi polo and baked tamarind fish. Tickets for the dinner go for $85 a pop, or $45 for low-income earners, students, and people from refugee and new migrant backgrounds.
