The International Dinner is a wonderful and flavorful experience of amazing dishes from around the world.

What is the International Dinner?
The International Dinner is a large potluck dinner of unique dishes from around the world. Welcoming the Stranger students provide their best recipes to share with everyone. Join us for entertainment, an auction and raffle, activities, and a chance to mingle with everyone. We look forward to seeing you there!
At this year’s event, we are pleased to honor First Baptist Church of Langhorne. First Baptist Church has been a longtime, dedicated partner of Welcoming the Stranger’s mission to provide free educational opportunities to immigrants and refugees for the past twenty years. Please join us in congratulating First Baptist Church of Langhorne for their deserved recognition.
What should I bring to the dinner?
Please bring your family and friends to share in a wonderful evening together. Bring an openness and willingness to trying new foods - you will get a sampling plate of food from all over the globe. Dishes will be labeled at a buffet line and you can choose what you would like to add to your plate as you move down the line. There are usually plenty of options for most types of diets. You are welcome to bring a dish to share with everyone as well (though not required) - if you are going to share a dish, please let us know so we can include it in our planning process. Bring your checkbook and some cash so you can participate in our silent auction and raffle. We have extensive prizes so that many people go home winners!
What is Welcoming the Stranger?
Welcoming the Stranger provides free education and resources for adult immigrants and refugees to the United States. We teach English, computer skills, and U.S. citizenship preparation to immigrants and refugees. Since 1999, we have educated over 4,000 students from 104 different countries.
