In every gathering, Cville Tulips fills with more than one hundred Afghan and Syrian women and children for around three hours of English learning, health education, art, movement—and a lot of joyful noise.

We always provide food—not just to keep energy up, but because sharing food is part of how community happens. Snacks help everyone stay comfortable, focused, and connected, and they’re an essential part of how we care for one another.

We aim for healthy, halal-friendly options (we try to model what we teach!), but our budget is modest. Donations of fruit, yogurt, granola bars, or whole-grain crackers would go a long way toward keeping families nourished and thriving.

Thank you for being part of this community and for helping make these community gatherings possible.
