At Blanket and Board, we believe that food, dialogue, and connection are deeply intertwined and essential for building a strong and inclusive community. Food has the power to bring people together, break down barriers, and foster understanding and empathy. It can be a powerful tool for building connections between individuals from different backgrounds and walks of life. Founded by a social worker in the midst of the pandemic and social unrest after the death of George Floyd; she provided a unique opportunity for friends and family to gather in a safe, socially distant yet intentional way.
