Since 2010, The Welcome Project has brought together food, community, and advocacy at YUM: A Taste of Immigrant City - an annual night of fun and fundraising for programs that benefit immigrant families in Somerville and Greater Boston.
This year, perhaps more than ever, the need to affirm the presence of immigrants in our communities and support immigrant-owned businesses and restaurants is clear.
We hope that you will join us at YUM 2026 for delicious food, great company, local music, and more!

This award is given in recognition of someone whose legacy is one of championing immigrant rights, and who has contributed to building up an immigrant-supporting organization, collective, team, or community. |
The Intercultural Award
The Intercultural Award is awarded annual to someone who has worked in Somerville or the surrounding communities to work for immigrant rights at the grassroots level. It is for someone who is known among immigrants in our area as a leader and whose work has impacted Somerville by building the collective voice of the immigrant community. |
