The August restaurant is Taco Oasis (in Everman, just a smidge outside Fort Worth City Council District 8) 817 Gather at the Table — A Monthly Community Dinner Series Celebrating Local Flavor, Cultural Connection, and Grassroots Organizing 📍 Where: Rotating locally owned restaurants across Fort Worth and the rest of the 817 — each month featuring a different cuisine and neighborhood. 🍽️ What: A monthly community dinner designed to bring people together over shared meals, new flavors, and meaningful conversation. 🤝 Why: Because community doesn’t just happen — it’s built. Breaking bread together has always been one of the most powerful ways to build trust, understanding, and belonging. This is a low-pressure, high-impact way to deepen connections across lines of race, class, and neighborhood — while directly supporting small, diverse businesses and local grassroots organizing. 🗓️ When: Monthly (based on community feedback) Not everyone can make every dinner — and that’s okay. The goal is consistency, not perfection. 💡 How it works: Each month, we’ll pick a new restaurant and cuisine. Everyone pays for their own meal — no cost to attend, no pressure to spend big. No agenda — just good food, good company, and good vibes. ✨ Why this matters: Strengthens community ties across racial and geographic lines. Centers local, diverse-owned businesses — especially those often overlooked. Creates a regular, low-barrier ritual for connection in a time when so many feel isolated. Models cross-cultural appreciation without appropriation — food as bridge, not spectacle. 📣 Call to Action:Let us know if you’re in for our monthly dinner. Whether you come every month or just once in a while, your presence matters. Let’s eat, connect, and grow — one plate at a time.
