Due to our quickly growing attendance rates and our goal of
increasing social connectedness, these dinners are exclusively dine-in
We strive to connect and nourish people in Rockbridge
To do this, we are increasing social connectedness by bringing together diverse people to share free, professionally catered dinners, providing free rides to dinners, and linking people to community resources
Together, Rockbridge CAN do so much!
What dinners are all about:
Learn about local resources and events
Connect with old friends and meet new ones
Enjoy a professionally catered meal
