Austin Progressive Potluckers connects people interested in making a difference with the non-profits and grassroots organizations that are working hard to make a positive difference throughout Austin. Each month, the Austin Progressive Potluckers are hosted by a different organization, providing people a chance to learn more about the group while connecting and networking over great food and great conversation. The recipe for the Potluckers is simple; take a heaping quantity of progressive groups, add a bunch of really cool people that care about our town, mix with good food and great conversation and you end up with a fun and easy way for people to connect with others and with a wide array of important organizations and efforts. At every gathering, we get to know more about these great organizations and the people involved, make new friends over delicious home-made food in a relaxed setting, and help realize the Potlucker motto of “Changing the World -One Covered Dish at a Time”.

Why should you be interested in hosting the Austin Progressive Potluckers? Your group has a progressive view of the world and wants to share the good work you’re doing with others. What better way to do that than to throw a party! If there's one thing that brings people together, it's good food and a good cause. The Austin Progressive Potluckers has been going strong since 2002, growing from a few folks to a network of over 700 people throughout Austin who want to get connected with people and groups who are making a difference. As a host, you’ll get the opportunity to share your vision and passion with others in the community, meet new and fascinating people, network with like-minded souls, make new connections, have stimulating conversations -- all by lifting nary a finger. At each event, typically one to three dozen Potluckers attend who are eager to learn more about your organization and meet people in your network. You simply need to furnish the space for the event, sit back and enjoy. The food shows up; the people show up. And voila! You get to have a fun-filled gathering with little work on your part and the chance to spread the word about what you do to an ever-expanding network of people. What's the catch? Nothing -- other than a sincere desire to connect with others through the potluckers community.
