Alhamdulillah, a brand-new school year is upon us! Before the backpacks and the morning bells, let's gather as one family — parents, students, and teachers — for an afternoon of good food, fresh air, and new friendships at Washington Park.

It's a potluck: every family brings one dish to share, and together we set a table big enough for all of us. Bi'idhnillah, it will be a beautiful start.

Roughly how many people your dish will feed.
No meat
Contains meat
I confirm my dish is 100% Zabiha halal — no pork, no alcohol, and no gelatin or animal by-products from non-Zabiha sources.
I'll bring my dish ready to serve with a serving spoon, and label it with its name.
🕌 Our Zabiha Halal Promise

So every family can eat with complete peace of mind, all food shared at this potluck must be:

  • Zabiha halal — all meat and poultry from a certified Zabiha source
  • No pork or pork derivatives of any kind, including bacon bits, lard, and gelatin
  • No alcohol — including in extracts, sauces, and desserts (please use alcohol-free vanilla)
  • Please label your dish and note any nuts, dairy, egg, or gluten

When in doubt, a vegetarian dish is always a safe and very welcome choice. JazakumAllah khairan for helping us keep the table halal for everyone.

Good to Know

🧺 Come comfortable
Bring a picnic blanket or folding chairs — it's an open park, so seating is bring-your-own.
❄️ Keep it fresh
A cooler bag or insulated carrier keeps cold dishes cold and hot dishes hot until we eat.
🥄 Serving spoon
Please bring a serving utensil with your dish — it makes the buffet line so much easier.
🏷️ Label it
A small card with your dish name and ingredients helps families with allergies choose safely.
☀️ Sun & shade
August in Sunnyvale is warm — sunscreen, hats, and plenty of water are a good idea.
🧹 Leave it lovely
Let's leave the park better than we found it. Trash bags and helping hands are always welcome.
