Sharing a Meal with Your Neighbors

Diversity Dinners are back! We can’t wait to see you at 5:00 p.m. every last Sunday of the month at the Pelican Rapids Library. We look forward to seeing old friends and welcoming new ones. Bring food to share! We’ll supply plates, cups, and utensils. Call Joanie at 218-863-5904 for more information.

Diversity Dinner: Uniting with Food to Celebrate Our Differences

From September through May, the Pelican Rapids Multicultural Committee hosts a Diversity Dinner in the public library’s Community Room. This potluck-style, multicultural meal is held on the last Sunday of each month during the school year at Pelican Rapids Public Library.

Members of the community are encouraged to contribute their own unique food or refreshment while partaking in sharing stories and cultures with one another. The greatest hope is that by coming together to share these diverse dishes with our neighbors, we can make new friends, break barriers, and actively communicate, learn, and grow with one another. In doing this, Pelican Rapids can truly be a town built on a solid foundation of love and appreciation for the many different cultures found within our community.
