Soul Food Sunday is an intergenerational affinity space created exclusively for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), fostering a safe and inclusive environment for non-white individuals. Our program is committed to affirming Queer and Trans People of Color (QTPOC) as well as supporting youth and elders in our community. Each Soul Food Sunday provides an opportunity for BIPOC folks to connect, build meaningful relationships, heal and break bread together.
Soul Food Sunday is held every second Sunday of the month from 1pm to 4pm at The Root, offering a space for growth, nourishment, and unity.
Once a year, on the second Sunday of November from 1pm to 4pm at The Root, Soul Food Sunday hosts a Friendsgiving open all community members for a multi-racial gathering.

“[Being] hungry is about awakening and becoming conscious about our thoughts and feelings and actions. It’s not about our hunger for food, but the craving to reclaim and embrace our true identity. About finding ways to be kind and compassionate to parts of ourselves that we dislike, dishonor, or which bring us shame.”
-Dr. Robin Smith
