BBQ

Without

Borders

This semi-annual festival and fundraiser champions unity and celebrates immigrant cultures through food and storytelling.

In 2025 at the Oakland Museum of California, we were able to raise $27,385.50. With the Unity Council we distributed them as microgrants to our community.

In 2023 at the Oakland Museum of California, we were able to raise $30k in partnership with the Unity Council to distribute micro grants to Bay Area immigrant families.
