Dip & Dish in Washington, DC
A casual outdoor hangout to snack, connect, and talk about what really matters.
Join us for Dip & Dish, a bring-your-own-snack meetup in a local park — open to anyone working in or curious about the social impact space. The idea is simple: you bring your favorite dip (and maybe something to pair it with), and we’ll bring the good vibes and great company.
Whether you’ve been doing this work for years or are just exploring your place in it, this is a low-key way to meet like-minded folks, share what’s on your mind, and take a breath together during challenging times in DC.
Come as you are — no prep needed, all snacks and stories welcome.
✨ What to expect
Bring your favorite dip to share — or just for yourself!
Chill park hangout with purpose-driven folks
Informal conversations, new connections, and a moment of ease
Open to Bloom members and anyone working in social impact
