church supper
Congregation's shared meal
A church supper is a communal meal organized by a congregation, typically held in a fellowship hall or basement.
These gatherings serve both social and fundraising purposes, often featuring potluck contributions or traditional dishes like casseroles and pies: The whole town turned out for the church supper.
The term evokes small-town American life and homestyle cooking.
