Our holiday meal is happening now! Members, aged-out members, and members’ children are welcome! Some menu highlights: ham, steak, mac and cheese, au gratin potatoes, green beans, pastelitos, and more! We would love to have you here to celebrate the season with us.

We also want to say a HUGE thank you to Community Cooks for supporting this meal (and our last one in November as well). An incredibly kind team brought desserts, cheese and crackers, salad, pasta, and more! We can’t do this work without the support of our community and we are so grateful for Community Cooks and all of you.

Happy holidays from the YOF team!
