Church World Service Harrisburg’s 2nd Annual International Friendsgiving To-Go Feast will take place with pickups in either Carlisle or Harrisburg on Saturday, November 18 from 4-6 PM. Celebrate the cultures of Afghanistan, Central African Republic, Pakistan, Syria, and Ukraine through a delicious to-go meal while learning about the recipe creators’ cultures. All meals will include links to cultural education about these countries of origin. Special content will be provided for sponsors and those purchasing bulk meals as part of “Friends Eat Together.” “Friends Eat Together” is a great way to gather for a group meal and watch our curated set cultural education links, videos and other information. Meals of 50 or more are discounted. More than a fundraiser, this event will help engender more conversation around justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in our region.
This event, hosted by CWS’ Community Engagement Team, is inspired by five women refugees living in the Harrisburg region enrolled in CWS Marketplace. This program grows the economic empowerment of these women who serve as head-of-household without income, transportation, community, and a creative outlet.
