The dinners have become an annual event in the south suburban region and serve as an effective tool for fostering frank region-wide discussions on issues of race, culture and equity, and ethnic diversity. Over 1,500 people from the south suburbs have participated in the Diversity Dinner project over the past three years.
Individuals can attend the dinners or serve as hosts.
Host homes will be able to pick up a catered diner for ten, at no cost to themselves, and provide beverages, dessert and a comfortable environment in which guests can become acquainted and discuss issues freely.
