Potlucks to empower women and girls 

 

"Changing the world one woman, one girl, one dinner at a time." 

​

At Thrive Yoga Manette, we hold monthly Dining for Women Chapter events, open to all. Check out our schedule and book your spots below!

 

"Dining for Women" is a national 501(c)(3) organization which identifies and vets grassroots organizations to manage grants tackling women's human rights issues. Dining for Women Chapters - like ours - are dinner giving circles that fund those grassroots organizations so they can work to empower women and girls and promote gender equity.

​

At our monthly Dining for Women Chapter events, the idea is that we "dine in" - each bringing a dish (or cheese plate, or box of cookies on sale at Safeway - no pressure and no judgment, people) - or drink to share. We donate our "dining out" dollars (what we would have spent if we had eaten at a restaurant) to programs empowering women and girls worldwide. We all contribute whatever we can throw in that month, typically between $5 and $20 per person, via cash, check made out to Dining for Women, or Venmo.

​

Each month, we watch a short (max. 10 minutes) documentary where we learn both about a women's human rights issue and how a grassroots organization is working to address that issue. Our chapter's donations are combined with those from hundreds of other chapters to support that one carefully selected and pre-vetted grassroots organization working to address the issue we just learned about. ...It's pretty great!

We'll be super excited to bring DFW events back as soon as everyone is vaccinated!
