A recent study identified loneliness as a growing public health epidemic (https://www.hhs.gov/surgeongeneral/priorities/connection/index.html). One of the recommendations was to "Build a culture of connection” inspired an initiative called Project Gather (https://v3-projectgather.getbento.com/). Its goal is to reintroduce Americans to eating together, in whatever form that takes: a shared scone at Starbucks, a family visit to a taco truck, a neighborhood cookout, a Friendsgiving dinner. A newly released “Recipes for Connection” (https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/recipes-for-connection.pdf), a hospitality handbook, that presents suggestions, scripts and support for would-be hosts, rather than recipes, which would be counterintuitive.

Listen to poem:
Come as you are!
Bring what you like.
A childhood favorite!
What you like to make
Memories of past repasts
Share yours, come together.
Expect some chaos, banter, disagreements.
Expect polite dislikes.
Revel in serendipity.
As such, these Potluck Repasts
Delight in no fuss sharing
Spontaneous togetherness
Connecting folks to share a meal.
