In the last year, Newcomer Kitchen has done some remarkable things: serving up over 4000 meals prepared by nearly 60 Syrian families, and putting over $50,000 directly into the hands of the newcomer community.
It has been made possible by the support of hundreds of individuals, many of whom have never had a chance to meet. So we invite you all to join us in the spirit of Eid for a delicious community dinner of traditional Syrian food prepared by the talented cooks of Newcomer Kitchen, along with fantastic music, activities and prizes.
With musical performance by Esmaeel Abofakher, Rahaf Al Akbani and the SyCa band
