We hope you'll join Burke United Christian Ministries for a new fundraiser, “Community Stew and Brew” on Thursday, November 19th 2026 from 6pm to 9pm at 401 S College St (The CoMMA). This event stands as the pinnacle of our fundraising efforts for BUCM this year as part of Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Month. Your partnership aids BUCM’s mission to restore resilience in people living in poverty or experiencing homelessness to ensure their essential needs are met. We would welcome your collaboration and support as this event is for, by, and with the community.

We are encouraging local chefs to submit their favorite stew recipe to serve during the event for a friendly “Best in Stew” competition. Then, Sidetracked Brewery is brewing three collaborative beers based on local people and places. Throughout the night, Joseph Hasty's Centerpiece Jazz three-piece group will accompany our gathering as we enjoy the good food and good fellowship for which our community is known.
