'Tis the season for MO Ho Justice’s festive end-of-year homecoming! Near or far, we are so excited to catch up and be at home (in community!) for the holidays.

What’s for dinner: A potluck-style meal made with love by MO Ho staff + community members!

• Potluck contributions (labeled with allergens) are welcome, but not expected. If you are inspired to bring food or support set-up/clean-up, please let us know here by adding your name/initials to the table. (This is not the RSVP form.)
