On rainy afternoons, we often share cozy kitchen suppers and talk about our day.

The church organized two box suppers last summer to raise money for the community center.

Every autumn, the community held pie suppers to raise money for the volunteer fire department.

Every October our small town hosts a box supper to raise funds for the school auditorium.

Our town's annual pie supper raised more than expected after neighbors bid enthusiastically on homemade pies to support the new library.

Our church's annual fall supper raised enough money to fund the new playground.

We met at the new supper club downtown, where the live jazz and long communal tables made every meal feel like a neighborhood celebration.

In the city, supper clubs have become a hub for local chefs to experiment with seasonal menus.

After the match, we warmed up with a cowboy supper and a pint at the local pub.

Cowboy suppers drew a crowd at the ranch, with plates piled high and stories told late into the night.
