• Other programs that support the holistic transformation and revitalization of the Woodlawn community

The dinner is held on 55th Place—Woodlawn’s “Main Street” and home to beloved businesses like Slutty Vegan, Club Duquette, atra capra tattoo collective, Woodlawn Marketplace and more.

“Woodlawn Sunday Dinner is like attending a family reunion every year. It’s an opportunity to see all our community members, partners, and supporters in one place. The event has evolved and become something all our community members look forward to.”
