Happy Birthday, RUMAH!
Help us celebrate two years at The Hub <3 Plus more events this month!
You’re Invited…to the RUMAHversary Party
Please join us on June 26th from 6-9pm for a special edition of our monthly Community Dinner. Community Dinner is a monthly chill space for folks to come hang, make some new friends, and eat some free food. This June is extra special because it's our RUMAHVERSARY!! RUMAH hosted it's first public event at The Hub in June of 2023, so we’ll be celebrating two years of sharing space with you all! Come out and help us celebrate our anniversary with special treats and fun surprises.
Please RSVP if you plan on attending so we know how much food to make! Vegan and gluten free options will be available. Food, drink, plates, cups, or monetary contributions are appreciated, but nothing is required to attend.
Since June of 2023, The Hub has offered accessible space for community use, and has been host to over 780 different events, with total attendance topping 60,800! These incredible numbers are proof of the high demand and need for more accessible spaces in Raleigh. All this has been accomplished by local people who have volunteered their time and energy to bring the space to life. As we celebrate this accomplishment, we celebrate all the people who have worked towards this achievement: everyone who has donated funds to cover the rent and operating expenses so The Hub can remain free to use for those who cannot make a donation; all the volunteers that have spent countless hours, including many nights and weekends, keeping the space open, clean, and safe for all to use; everyone cheering us on from the sidelines, sharing posts, following our journey, and spreading awareness of our mission. Cheers to all of us for coming together and making this dream a reality!
