An emergency shelter has opened up in Utrecht for refugees who have arrived from various countries. To offer them a moment to escape the enormity of the shelter and to meet local residents in a homely atmosphere, Eet Mee is organising the Come & Eat initiative.

What is Come & Eat?

As a resident of Utrecht or one of the surrounding areas, you welcome a group of refugees for dinner at your home. You cook something delicious for your guests or cook together with them. You get to know the people behind the heart-breaking stories in the news. For them it’s their first opportunity to meet with the Dutch and their culture.

How can you join in with Come & Eat?

Register as a host address for Come & Eat. We will then contact you to arrange a date for the dinner and match you with your guests. We provide helpful guidelines to ensure that the dinner party is a success for you and for your guests. And of course, you can organise a Come & Eat dinner as often as you like.
