Celebrating Connection Through Food: A Potluck to End Loneliness I’m so deeply moved and inspired by the incredible work of Jose’ Andres, José Andrés Group, World Central Kitchen and the initiative championing to combat loneliness. His recent involvement in a potluck dinner with Surgeon General Vivek Murthy aimed at fostering social connection through shared meals, really resonated with me. The message is clear: it’s not just about the food, it’s about the bonds we create when we gather around the table. 🍽️ As someone who believes in the power of food to bring people together, I couldn’t agree more. At Sticky Fingers Cooking®, we work every day to nurture those connections by teaching kids to cook, instilling in them a love of food, culture, and togetherness. What we’ve learned is that food isn’t just about nourishment – it’s about connection, community, and the joy of being present with others. José Andrés and the Surgeon General’s initiative are spot on in recognizing that shared meals can have a transformative impact on our mental and physical health. As we embrace this important work, let’s all remember: “every table is a community. How you gather it is up to you.” Here’s to fostering connection, one shared meal at a time. With much longer tables. ❤️ Thanks The New York Times for the article: https://lnkd.in/g5vDH3KB #ConnectionThroughFood #SocialImpact #Community #StickyFingersCooking #TogetherWeThrive #HealthyEating #Loneliness #JoséAndrés #SurgeonGeneral #FoodForTheSoul #NewYorkTimes
Yes, yes! The way to end loneliness is to be together. It's obvious and difficult all at the same time.
