Studying abroad is an exciting experience, but it can also bring challenges like cultural shock, financial stress, and loneliness for international students, especially during holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Many desire to connect with locals to learn about their culture and feel a sense of belonging.
Friends for Dinner connects local Christians with international students during holidays to share a meal and build friendships. By becoming a host family, you can make a meaningful impact by welcoming students into your home and showing them hospitality and Christ's love.
Interested in joining us? Sign up as a host family for Thanksgiving at www.friendsfordinner.ca by September 30th. After registering, we'll match you with 2 or more students.
You'll receive their contact information to invite them for a meal during Thanksgiving weekend.
Enjoy good food, casual conversation, and maybe even a card game with your new friends!
