The BIG Supper Club is the annual Welcome Neighbor STL/START fundraiser where we promise to feed your soul and fill your heart with stories of rebuilding lives and rebuilding hope. Refugee cooks will share their culinary skills with a Middle Eastern dinner menu and will discuss their journey to St. Louis and the joys and struggles of settling in a new world. The event will also launch the inaugural Welcome Neighbor STL Awards which will recognize friends who are dedicated to our mission and vision. A robust silent auction will ensure we have proceeds to continue helping people build a new life. Music, drinks, great conversation and connecting will make for a fulfilling evening.

Your involvement in this year’s fundraiser is vital to Welcome Neighbor’s mission of supporting immigrants and refugees as they navigate their new life in St. Louis.

Proceeds from The BIG Supper Club will directly benefit the work of Welcome Neighbor and help us provide educational classes, materials, emergency funds to families, and more.

We look forward to sharing with you what we know will be a very special celebration!
