Food & Fun Hour
Food & Fun Hour is a virtual gathering for the Open Arms community to joyfully connect around food!
This idea arose from the common request from Open Arms community members for a place to connect socially. A couple members of our Client Programs Team suggested these virtual gatherings as a venue to connect around, and learn more about, food as a personal and cultural subject.
It is held bi-monthly on Thursday evenings, led by those same members of our Client Programs Team and featuring a rotation of other staff members as special guests! All members of the Open Arms community are welcome—clients, caregivers, volunteers, community partners, referrers, supporters, the list goes on!
During each gathering, our staff gives a presentation on a specific food topic before opening it up for discussion among attendees. Past topics have included comfort food, food waste, Open Arms menu development, and our Open Farms program.
