If you have or ever have had small children, you know only too well the joys associated with trying to get out on the town on a Saturday night. As with many social dilemmas, New Hope has a solution to the problem; Family Food Friendzy! Using the long-term success of the young adult food friendzy for inspiration, Families began getting together twice a month during the summer at the homes of various volunteer families. E-mails were sent to numerous families and invitations were given to parents and guardians following Sabbath School classes with directions, menus, and a list of all the fun to be had. Rajinie Dixit, originator and one of New Hope’s leading family fun activists stated, “We wanted to provide a place for families to come and socialize in an atmosphere where they could relax. Not everyone has a kid friendly house and restaurants on a Saturday night can be a nightmare.
The families who opened their homes had toys, wipes, diapers—and especially the kind of understanding and patience needed to welcome new family friends.” The success of the summer Family Food Friendzy has prompted its patron members to continue meeting on a less frequent basis.
