(Event Page)
Ferndale, MI – Join us for the inaugural Melting Pot(luck) event series celebrating diversity in our communities!
Aug. 13  Renaissance Vineyard Church 1841 Pinecrest, Ferndale, MI 48220
We invite you to register to join us for an exciting new community event series showcasing the cultural richness that exists within our city.
What is a Melting Pot(luck)?
It is a community potluck that gives everyone the opportunity to share a piece of their culture with the community. We encourage people to participate by bringing a dish to feed 6-8 people that is a reflection of YOUR heritage.
Don’t know what culture your heritage reflects? Bring any dish that you personally identify with or pay $20 for a ticket to attend.
Upon registering you will have two options:
1. Pay $20 for a ticket. While Peace Meal Kitchen will be providing additional food for attendees, all profits from this event will be donated to Freedom House Detroit.
2. Register to bring food that reflects your background / heritage. We will touch base with you closer to the event to note what dish you will be bringing. Upon your arrival at the event we will have a card available for you to write the dish name & main ingredients (in case of allergies).
Note: The event will be BYOB & alcoholic beverages ARE allowed. Feel free to bring a favorite beverage or drink that may be from your culture for yourself or to share.
Not able to make this one?
Good news – we will be rotating through different cities & communities within the Detroit area. Keep your eyes peeled for our next Melting Pot(luck) pop-up, coming to a neighborhood near you!

Freedom House Detroit is a temporary home for indigent survivors of persecution from around the world who are seeking asylum in the United States and Canada. Our mission is to uphold a fundamental American principle, one inscribed on the base of the Statue of Liberty, providing safety for those “yearning to breathe free.” In 2012 we became a formal partner in the Northern Tier Anti-Trafficking Consortium servicing victims of human trafficking.
Guided by our belief that all persons deserve to live free from oppression and to be treated with justice, compassion and dignity, we offer a continuum of care and services to our residents as well as to other refugees in need. We advocate for systemic change that more fully recognizes the rights of asylum seekers.
