Spring Event

International Dinner & Culture Walk

WFI's 15th annual International Dinner and Culture Walk (IDCW) is our signature spring event — an evening of authentic international food, cultural demonstrations, student artwork, a silent auction, and community connection. Your sponsorship directly funds English education and refugee services in Toledo.

📅 May 2027 🕔 5:30 PM 📍 Westgate Chapel 🎉 16th Annual Event
What happens at IDCW? Guests walk through stations representing different countries — sampling homemade ethnic food, watching cultural demonstrations, viewing student artwork, and bidding in a silent auction. The evening culminates in breakout sessions where guests go deeper: learning about WFI's mission, playing community-building games, and hearing directly from students and authors. T-shirts worn by participants will carry your logo into the Toledo community for years to come.
