Join Miry's List on June 20, 2023 at 5:30pm at Ingredient Studios in Los Angeles to bring awareness and support towards resettling refugee families and honor the immense contributions of our significant volunteer helpers. Over a beautiful shared Afghan dinner, interactive cooking demo and tea, we'll get to know individuals and families whose lives have been impacted and take community action to make a difference.

Over 100 million people worldwide have been forced to flee their homes due to violence or persecution. Each year on June 20th, World Refugee Day honors those who are and have experienced migration and resettlement. Miry's List is a nonprofit organization supporting families who
have recently resettled in America as refugees from
countries including Syria, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Moldova and Ukraine.

Afghan Feast

Food is love in action. The evening brings
together the Miry's List community to indulge in an elaborate Afghan dinner by new arrival chef, Aqila Asghary. Dinner will be followed by dessert and tea service.

Witness the Magic

Evan Kleiman and Aqila Asghary host an interactive demo preparing fresh Afghan green and red chutney for guests to enjoy with dinner. Recipe cards to take home to share the magic with your family and friends.
