A potluck is when every member brings a dish to share. Potlucks originated during hard times in the 1930s, during the Great Depression. This makes potlucks perfect for our current economic time and our monthly dinner. It is a low-pressure way to find a little joy to share and break bread together among friends and foster new relationships. At the heart of our LBF Community, a potluck is a low stress opportunity to enjoy yourself, meet new friends, and mingle over a delicious meal.

💡 PAYMENT SPOTLIGHT:
Why We’re Using Zeffy online payment?
We’re excited to share a behind-the-scenes update about our online payments!
We’ve started using Zeffy, a platform built specifically to support nonprofits like Let’s Be Friends Community.
Here’s why we love it:
- No platform fees for us. Unlike services such as Square or PayPal that typically take 3–5% of each transaction, Zeffy allows nonprofits to receive 100% of your donation or purchase.
- More impact. That means more of your generosity goes directly toward our mission—combating loneliness and building community.
A quick FYI, since a few friends have asked:
When you donate or purchase through Zeffy, you may see a prompt asking if you’d like to support Zeffy with an optional contribution. This is completely optional, not required, and not connected to us. It’s simply how Zeffy offsets their own costs so nonprofits can keep the full amount.
We wanted to be transparent and make sure everyone feels comfortable and informed when giving. Thank you for your continued trust, generosity, and support—every bit truly makes a difference 💗
