Potluck-Style. BYOB. Powered by Neighbors.
OH LOOK! IT’S POTLUCK!
We’re keeping it casual and delicious. Everyone brings a dish to share—homemade, store-bought, or straight from your heart (and kitchen). No pressure, just good food and good vibes.
Whether it’s your famous mac & cheese, a big salad, or a box of cookies, it all counts. The goal? Make sure there’s enough to go around and maybe meet someone new over a second helping.
Use the RSVP to let us know what you’re bringing (so we don’t end up with 17 bags of chips, though honestly, there are worse problems to have).
GOOD VIBES
and how you can help!
We’re all in this together—so here’s how you can pitch in:
Bring your own chair – Grab a seat, bring a seat!
Bring a dish to share – From your secret recipe to store-bought comfort food, every bite counts.
Volunteer for setup or clean-up – Help us get ready or leave the block sparkling.
Lend your talents – Are you a musician, DJ, or speaker? Got mobile speakers? Let’s get creative.
Contribute to the Art Pole – Bring a piece of art to brighten our community art pole (repurpose that unused power pole!).
