Lunch

Our lunch break will take place from 11:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Friday in the Fellowship Hall. If you pre-ordered lunch when you registered, you may pick it up in the Fellowship Hall. We do not have boxed lunches for sale on-site. If you didn’t order lunch, please check out a nearby restaurant!

Lunch is provided by Delicious, a nonprofit employing immigrant and refugee women from the Middle East & beyond who have relocated to the Triad region of North Carolina. Founded by Shereen Gomaa, a native of Egypt with a heart for encouraging women, the organization’s mission is to empower the refugee community by using their cooking skills to support their families and affirm their dignity through work. Like most of us, refugees find comfort in the taste of their homeland. What began as a delicious food swap evolved into an idea: that these women could support their families with dignity while sharing their culture through the gift of cooking. Enjoy Delicious food that is prepared with love while celebrating the wonders of diversity!
