NEAT (Neighbors Eating All Together) is an all volunteer organization dedicated to offering inclusive and welcoming dinners in Arlington. We believe that bringing food and connection together is the recipe for a stronger community. Come and share a free nourishing meal with us every month!
​
NEAT is grateful for our incredible volunteers and the generous contributions from our neighbors and friends. We also want to acknowledge the vital role of organizations like Food Link, Covenant Church, Park Avenue Congregational, Arlington Human Rights Commission (AHRC), and businesses like Blue Ribbon BBQ, Something Savory Catering and Wegman's for making our monthly meals possible.
NEAT dinner locations rotate between Thompson Elementary School, Arlington High School and Park Avenue Congregational Church. This ensures that residents from each part of town - the East, the Center and the Heights - have an opportunity to easily access the meal several times during the year.

Guests arrive for dinner in groups big and small, families, or alone and often take the time to meet new folks at their table. Our tables are set with fresh flowers, colored napkins with utensils, pitchers of water, and fresh bread and butter. Salad is served first, followed by a hot dinner.
We've served pasta with chicken, kabobs and rice, pizza, and even BBQ! All plates are cleared by volunteer servers and guests can help themselves at the dessert table and to more tea or decaf coffee as they wish. Our guests leave with a full stomach as well as free fruit to take home and enjoy
We'd love to hear from you!
