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 immigrants 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 restaurants and businesses is clear.
We hope that you will join us at YUM 2026 for delicious food, great company, local music, and more!
