On September 29, 2025, members of the Route 1 Villages gathered us for a free-wheeling community conversation about traditions, family, and the importance of coming together to share food from diverse backgrounds. Especially now, in a time when divisions among people and cultures are heated, finding ways to share our experiences — and our favorite foods — can help us find common ground. Loretta Foster of Helping Hands University Park will start off the discussion, along with other Village members from the Route 1 Corridor.
You can download a PDF booklet with many of the recipes discussed (along with a few more!)
Corridor Conversations are organized by Hyattsville Aging in Place, Neighbors Helping Neighbors College Park, Explorations on Aging, and Helping Hands University Park.
