community dinner

Shared local supper

A community dinner is a shared meal organized for a neighborhood, congregation, or other local group, typically held in a public space like a church hall or community center.

The emphasis is on bringing people together rather than fine dining: The fire department hosts a community dinner every spring.

Such events often serve as fundraisers or celebrations of local identity.
