Slow Down. Gather Round. Feast Together.
Life moves fast. Between school drop-offs, work deadlines, weekend tournaments, and the constant scroll of “what’s next,” we’ve forgotten what it feels like to truly share a meal.
The Just Us × Barkada Kamayan Potluck Dinner invites our community to pause, gather, and reconnect — to return to the warmth, laughter, and joyful chaos that feel like home. It’s a night where food isn’t plated, it’s shared. Where banana leaves take the place of tablecloths, and utensils give way to connection.
Hosted by Malaya Botanicals in collaboration with Just Us Basketball, this event celebrates Filipino heritage, community, and the shared spirit of bayanihan.
What to Expect
🌿 The Longest Kamayan Table in the Bay — A communal feast overflowing with dishes sponsored by Filipino-owned restaurants, markets, and community kitchens that cook with soul.
🎶 Live Island Reggae by Native Elements — Feel the rhythm, joy, and good energy as music fills the night air.
🛍️ Night Market Vendors — Bakers, artists, and small-business dreamers keeping tradition alive, one handmade creation at a time.
💖 Community in Every Bite — Families, leaders, and neighbors gathering to celebrate connection, generosity, and bayanihan.
🏀 Purpose on the Plate — Proceeds support youth gym time, new equipment, and financial aid for players in the Just Us and Barkada Basketball programs — a registered 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization. Your tax-deductible donation directly fuels opportunities for our young athletes to learn, grow, and compete — on and off the court.
🌏 Global Giving — A portion of proceeds will also support families affected by Typhoon Tino in the Philippines, helping rebuild lives through shared compassion.
Why We Gather
Because community is the cure for chaos.
Because slowing down is an act of care.
Because when we eat together, we remember who we are — resilient, joyful, and rooted in love.
This isn’t just dinner.
It’s a homecoming — Filipino style.
