611 SOCIAL: THE COMMON TABLE
Friday, July 17
7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Theme: Bread & Dough
The Common Table is a shared dinner series centered around pantry staples, food access, and the meals that bring people together.
Each gathering focuses on a common ingredient and everyone is invited to bring a dish inspired by the evening's theme. Homemade, store-bought, traditional, improvised, or takeout are all welcome. There is no expectation to cook from scratch.
This month's theme is Bread & Dough. Think breads, pizzas, dumplings, empanadas, sandwiches, pastries, tortillas, biscuits, pretzels, flatbreads, or any favorite dish built around dough.
There are no presentations or programming. Just shared food, conversation, and a table full of people.
Suggested contribution: $20 per person.
The Common Table is a fundraiser that helps sustain 611's free store, essentials distribution, and community programming. If you're able, we hope you'll consider contributing. If cost is a barrier, we still want you at the table.
Guests are also encouraged to bring one unopened high-need essential item for the 611 Free Store.
At the end of the evening, any remaining food will be shared through the Evanston Community Fridges.
Ages 21+
Please note: 611 is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible.
