An evening of international food and culture benefitting Sponsorship Opportunities Thurs, October 11, 2018 Kim Son Restaurant
The Event Breaking bread together is a way to remove barriers, explore new cultures, and build stronger relationships. The Alliance for Multicultural Community Services (The Alliance) will host its second annual international food and culture celebration on Thursday, October 11, 2018 from 6:30 to 9:30pm at Kim Son restaurant. United We Dine is an opportunity to celebrate Houston s diversity while highlighting the important work The Alliance does to help refugees and underserved individuals in the community. Food has a unique ability to bring people together, forge bonds and create conversation. It s a centerpiece of holiday festivities. It s how neighbors welcome newcomers into their community. It s how many families share their traditions. Designated food areas will give attendees the opportunity to virtually transport themselves to the countries and regions being depicted through the culinary expertise of the restaurants. Each restaurant will offer a small plate featuring their signature dish while having the opportunity to promote their business to 600 + attendees. During the event, patrons will be entertained with live performances from the finest artists representing various cultures from around the globe. We hope that you will join us in our efforts to highlight the extraordinary power of food. Food can forge friendships. Hold families together. Keep communities close. And spark celebrations!
