Paying It Forward: From Refugee Kitchens to Unsheltered Neighbors

Fork in the Road Foundation

WHERE JOURNEYS AND MEALS MEET

Supper Clubs

Bring people together around a shared table with Fork in the Road Foundation Supper Clubs—intimate, culture-rich dinners where community and culinary tradition meet. Each event features a thoughtfully crafted menu (often themed by a guest chef’s heritage and specialty), served in a relaxed, supper-club setting made for conversation, connection, and discovering bold new flavors. When you reserve your seat, you’re doing more than attending dinner—you’re directly supporting our mission to mentor, employ, and celebrate immigrant and refugee women through welcoming culinary experiences. Come break bread, meet new neighbors, and leave full in every way.
