Dinner & Dialogue: Stories Between the Systems
Our neighbors rarely experience homelessness in isolation. Housing instability is often intertwined with challenges like food insecurity, behavioral health concerns, poverty, family stress, and the complexities of navigating multiple systems of care and support. While our organizations are often structured around a single issue, people's lives rarely fit neatly into those categories.
Join Tedford Housing for an evening of conversation, storytelling, and community connection as professionals from housing, behavioral health, education, and hunger relief share reflections from their work and the experiences of the individuals and families they serve. Through real stories from the field, panelists will explore how life's challenges overlap, the barriers people encounter, the resilience they demonstrate, and the ways community partnerships can help build pathways toward stability.
Whether you are a community member, supporter, volunteer, service provider, or simply someone interested in understanding the realities facing our neighbors, this discussion offers a unique opportunity to hear perspectives from across the systems that touch people's lives every day. The evening will include buffet-style small plates from Noble Kitchen & Bar, a cash bar, and opportunities to connect with fellow attendees in the Robinson Room and on the outdoor patio before and after the panel discussion.
Date: Thursday, July 30, 2026
Time: 4:00–6:00 PM
Location: Robinson Room, Brunswick Hotel
Tickets: $50 — Purchase tickets HERE!

Join Tedford Housing Executive Director Andrew Lardie and longtime volunteer Lisa Parker for a cozy morning of egg and potato magic. Every week, Lisa brings warmth and her cooking skills to the 16 guests at Tedford’s adult shelter. Now she’s sharing her famous kitchen-sink deviled eggs and the secret behind her house-favorite fried potatoes. Watch Andrew flip a two-inch-tall Spanish tortilla and serve up perfect over-medium cheesy egg tacos. All of our cooks' creations are pay-what-you-can, so come hungry, stay for the fun, and leave room for a stocking stuffer. We’ll have our new Tedford logo caps, available in two beautiful styles available to purchase for holiday gifting!
