This evening is about more than a meal. It’s about fresh starts, shared goals, and continued commitment to walking alongside one another. As we welcome a new year, we’re coming together to reflect on how far we’ve come and to build momentum for the opportunities ahead.
Expect a warm, family-style dinner, meaningful conversation, laughter, and the kind of community that reminds us why this work matters. Whether you’re a longtime participant or new to Jonathan’s Path, this dinner is a space to feel connected, celebrated, and energized for the year ahead.
Come hungry—for good food, good company, and a powerful start to 2026.
We can’t wait to break bread and begin the year together.
