Bread & Roses Progress Report

Friday Night Dinners to begin August 7th

You are invited to join us for our weekly Friday night potluck dinners.  We will begin hosting the dinners on Friday, August 7th (7:00 PM).  Our address is 1320 8th Ave SE, Olympia 98501

Here’s the deal with the dinners:  We invite our friends, family, neighbors, and supporters.  Our guests at the Women’s Guesthouse invite their friends and family.  We put on some music (think Woody Guthrie or Utah Phillips), lay out the food, eat, laugh, and chase the children around the house.  It’s a really good time.

The Friday dinners are also the best way to get to know our community.  Interested in volunteering?  Come to dinner and you’ll get plugged in.  Want to know who your contributions support and how?  Come meet them and share a meal together!

To learn more about our dinners, and why we host them, please see our “Community Meals” page on this website.
