Dinner with Just Dip It Tacos and Next-Door Dinners

Meet us at Loft Lucia for a three-course dinner put on by Next-Door Dinners and Just Dip It Tacos.

Next Door Dinners is a community dinner project with a pay-what-you-can model! The organization serves three-course dinners that sell out with 50-80 guests, depending on the venue. The meals are sourced from Chicago urban farmers, retailers and makers and pops up at venues all around the city. 

Stop in at 6:30pm for a drink on the rooftop patio. Dinner will be served at 7:15pm.

Location: Loft Lucia, 7 N Carpenter St, Chicago, IL 60607

The price for a ticket that helps the organization “break even” on dinner and venue costs is about $15 per person. All profits beyond that go to various organizations that support Chicago residents. In previous months, some have given $1 and others have given $75. When purchasing your ticket, please consider your socioeconomic status, inherent wealth, and access to fresh food, and give what feels right to you. 

PLEASE NOTE: the $1 and $10 dollar donation options are for our community members that would otherwise not be able to attend this event. Please only select this option, if you need this assistance.

All profits from this dinner will be donated to Organized Communities Against Deportations (OCAD):
“We are a movement against deportations and the criminalization of our people. We’re a group of undocumented, unapologetic, and unafraid organizers building a resistance movement against deportations and the criminalization of immigrants and people of color in Chicago and surrounding areas.”
