Speaking Culturally Announces New Community Service Program

Preserving cultural heritage is the goal of Speaking Culturally. With this being the holiday season, Speaking Culturally has decided to gift Raleigh, North Carolina with, well, cultural heritage. Every fourth Sunday starting in January, I will be preparing a meal to share with those less fortunate on the streets of Raleigh. It would be great to get volunteers to help pass out meals and I'd love for other cultures to suggest recipes to use so we can share the heritage of other cultures. Happy holidays!
