Pop-up events

Come hungry. Leave nourished.

Our pay-what-you-can pop-up dinners are real restaurant-style meals where everyone eats at the same table — and everyone pays what they can, including nothing at all.

How it works

There's no menu price and no till anxiety. If you can chip in, your contribution feeds the next table. If you can't, you're every bit as welcome — that's the whole point. Dinner is about community first: neighbors at one table, no one above and no one below.

Upcoming dinners

No dinners on the calendar right now. Pop-up dates and locations are also announced on our Facebook page — and they'll appear right here as soon as the next one is scheduled.

Help host one

Pay-what-you-can dinners run on volunteers — cooks, servers, greeters, and cleanup crews. It's the most fun way to get involved.

Common questions

Dinner questions, answered.

What if I can't pay anything at a pay-what-you-can dinner?

You're every bit as welcome — that's the whole point. Eat with your neighbors and pay nothing; someone else's contribution covers the table.

Where are upcoming dinners announced?

Right here on this page, and on The Food Source Foundation's Facebook page.

Can I help at a dinner?
