America's Potluck - July 5th, 2026

What is America's Potluck?

America's Potluck is an opportunity for neighbors to join with one another to share a fun, communal meal, creating a sense of connection and belonging and fostering interactions among people from all walks of life.

Why Sunday, July 5, 2026?

2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the document that tied our nation together. The tradition of Sunday dinner invites us to slow down, serve others, and connect with one another. Through dialogue and a shared meal, we can promote our common bonds and honor the freedoms we enjoy as Americans.
