A Virtual Feast: Sharing Holiday Traditions

Every year, the hallways of United Way of Coastal and Western Connecticut are filled with the tantalizing aromas of holiday cheer. The annual potluck lunch is a beloved tradition, where colleagues gather to share stories, laughter, and of course, delicious food.

From slow cookers bubbling with comforting chili and meatballs to golden-brown empanadas, the spread is a delightful feast for the senses. The air is filled with the clinking of chips and the sweet scent of cookies, and a luscious chocolate trifle takes center stage.

In 2020, due to the pandemic, we couldn't gather in person. Yet, the spirit of sharing and togetherness remained strong. We adapted our tradition to the virtual world, hosting a festive Zoom lunch where we enjoyed our own homemade meals.

To keep the culinary joy alive, we embarked on a virtual recipe swap again this year! United Way stewards from across the organization have shared their favorite recipes, from hearty dinners to decadent desserts.

Now, we're inviting you to join the feast!

Download our virtual recipe booklet, filled with delicious treats and heartwarming family recipes. Whether you're looking for a quick snack or a full-course meal, you'll find something to satisfy your cravings.

So, gather your ingredients, roll up your sleeves, and let's bring the joy of sharing and cooking into your home this holiday season.

Happy Holidays from United Way of Coastal and Western CT!
