Events

Community days, fundraisers, holiday meals.

A handful of things we do each year — some private to the house, most open to the neighborhood. Come hang out. Bring a friend. Bring a dish.

Host with us

Run a fundraiser. Throw a benefit. Donate a meal.

If you have an event idea — a benefit concert, a corporate volunteer day, a restaurant night that gives back — we want to talk.

Email FirstStopKensington@gmail.com or fill out the partner form on the Start your journey page.

Easy ways to help

  • Sponsor a meal. $250 covers Sunday dinner for the whole house.
  • Donate a turkey. November runs on donated birds.
  • Corporate day. Bring your team to paint, clean, or cook.
  • Birthday fundraiser. Run one on Facebook — we’ll send a thank-you.
