We’re halfway to bringing back Sunday Suppers at I-House DC, and we need your support to make it happen! This tradition, which began in 1934, has been a cornerstone of cultural exchange and connection. During a time of global unrest, the Quakers in Washington, DC brought together 300 foreign students for a Sunday meal, helping them feel less isolated and more connected. From that gathering, Sunday Suppers became a regular tradition that united students from all over the world, fostering conversations that bridged cultural divides and created lifelong friendships. Now, as the world faces new challenges, these connections are more important than ever. We’re working to restore Sunday Suppers by revitalizing our Dining Hall, and we’re offering naming opportunities for those who want to leave a lasting impact. Sponsor a chair, a table, or even the entire Dining Hall and help us bring back this vital tradition. Every penny counts. Your support will help us create a space where global citizens can continue to connect, learn, and grow. Join us in making history once again.
