Join us for the first Beehive Community Dinner on Saturday, March 14 — an evening of good food, shared tables, and easy conversation with neighbours from White Rock and Surrey.

What’s for dinner: Burrito Night
We’ll be serving a relaxed, build-your-own burrito dinner (or make it a salad if you prefer), enjoyed family-style at the table:

Mexican-spiced pulled chicken
Mexican-spiced tofu (vegetarian option)
Homemade refried beans and Mexican rice
Warm flour or gluten-free tortillas with fresh toppings, including shredded lettuce, salsa, cheese, and pickled red onions
A sweet finish of churro cake with cinnamon sugar — because there’s always room for dessert (flour, yogurt, eggs)

Food notes: Common ingredients include wheat (flour tortillas, cake), dairy (cheese, yogurt, butter), eggs, soy (tofu), and spices. While we aren’t able to make individual menu changes, full ingredient details will be shared in advance so guests can make informed choices.

Beverages
Water will be available at the tables. Additional beverages, including soft drinks and homemade hibiscus punch, will be available for cash purchase.

Activities
A kids’ craft table will be available throughout the evening. After dinner, board games and cards will be set out for anyone who’d like to stay, play, and connect — whether you’re competitive or just in it for fun.

Guests are seated at shared tables and enjoy a homemade meal served family-style, creating plenty of opportunities for easy conversation. Participation in activities is always optional.

Meals are made from scratch, with both meat and vegetarian options available. The dinners are volunteer-run by local community members, and tickets are priced to keep the meals accessible, supported by donations and grants. Everyone is welcome — whether you come with friends, family, or on your own.

Although the dinners are held in a church hall, The Beehive Community Dinners are not a religious initiative and are open to people of all beliefs and backgrounds.

The building is wheelchair accessible and accessible for people with disabilities.

We aim to create an inclusive, respectful space where people of all ages, backgrounds, and identities feel comfortable and welcome. These dinners are especially welcoming for people who are new to the neighbourhood, live on their own, or are simply looking to meet a few neighbours — but truly, everyone is welcome.

Come as you are, meet a few neighbours, and enjoy a slower, more connected evening.

The Beehive Community Dinners are relaxed, neighbourhood-focused meals designed to help people living in White Rock and Surrey connect in a simple, welcoming way. This spring, we’re hosting three pilot dinners to see what’s working, what could be improved, and whether there’s community interest in continuing.

If you attend, we’ll invite you to share feedback through a short survey or comment card — and we’ll thank you with a freshly baked homemade cookie.
