For this month's dinner, we are leaning into the cozy season with a beef stew and vegan lemon spinach orzo soup. We will have vegan garlic bread and salad, and for dessert we'll be serving cookies and a vegan apple crisp! In addition to finding joy in community, we also want to ensure everyone has a warm meal, so this month we will be offering to-go containers (at a first come, first served basis) for folks who would like to bring an extra serving home. Please feel free to come by, grab a plate, and fix yourself a to-go, if needed!
Dinner will be provided at the previous Lavender Network location, at 440 Maxwell Road, from 4:30pm-6:30pm. Please see attached flyer for the details!
Our intention with these dinners is to create opportunities for BIPOC folks to be in community and share joy—this space is open to anyone who identifies as BIPOC. We ask that when sharing flyers and information about these dinners, folks keep that intention in mind ❤️

The BIPOC Community Health Worker Program is accepting new clients! Our Community Health Workers (CHWs) are certified assisters who can help folks sign up for insurance through OHP and Marketplace. We are also able to help unhoused community members (and those who are under threat of being unhoused) get on Lane County's centralized waitlist through Front Door Assessments. Our CHW program was created to help Lane County's communities of Black, Indigenous, People of Color navigate medical care; we can help community members by attending medical exams with them, sending appointment reminders, helping with transportation, and more. We are also working to create a culturally responsive and sensitive network to refer clients to, including SUDs and behavioral health treatment and beyond. Please feel free to connect with us via the contact information on our flyer.
