We’re re-setting the welcome table.
In many Black families, the welcome table was the place where everyone was fed, stories were shared, and no one had to explain why they needed to be there.
In a moment when many people feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure where they belong, we’re choosing to gather again.
Soul Food Sunday is a monthly space to share food, stories, and quiet conversation across generations.
No expectations. No pressure. Just a table where you are welcome.
Join us January 11 from 12 – 2 p.m. There’s a seat for you.

This month’s Soul Food Sunday in Lewiston brought community together around the table for an afternoon of connection, reflection, and shared cultural practice. Across generations and backgrounds, participants gathered to explore what soul food means in their own lives, not just as a meal, but as a tradition of care, memory, and belonging.
Through thoughtful conversation, storytelling, and laughter, the group reflected on how culturally grounded gatherings strengthen mental health, reduce isolation, and help sustain Black community in Maine’s multi diasporic landscape. The shared meal created space for people to slow down, listen deeply, and build relationships rooted in trust and mutual understanding.
We want Soul Food Sunday to be a reminder that community is built in small, intentional moments, around food, stories, and the simple act of being together. We are grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make the space warm, meaningful, and restorative.
Thanks to Bab's Table for all the great food. Stay tuned for next month's gathering.
