Casa Chirilagua Family Dinner

Thank you for your commitment to love, serve, and bless Chirilagua families during this month’s Family Dinner Night! You are making an impact on this community by participating in this event. We have seen these dinners build trust and unity, improve communication, and deepen relationships among and between families as they work together for the well-being of their children. 

General Guidelines for Meals

  • Please have meals fully prepared prior to arrival (there is only one microwave on site).  

  • Casa Chirilagua will provide powder for lemonade and/or iced tea mix and a cooler; your group will be responsible for making these drinks upon arrival. You are also welcome to bring a juice of your liking. We typically try and stay away from serving soda. FYI, there is NO ice onsite.  

  • Based on our current stock of paper supplies please bring: 

  • 100 Paper Plates (10 inch) and/or bowl paper plates (if the food you bring requires it).  

  • 100 Cups 

  • You are encouraged to interact with families as much as you would like during this dinner!
