Friendsgiving Potluck

Are you the black sheep of the family? Do you dread heading to Uncle Jack's place to hear about how terrible you are for being a godless humanist followed by a meal of desiccated turkey and the most boring stuffing ever created?

Well we can't do anything about that, but you can look forward to a meal with your found family of TFS heathens later that weekend. The turkey will be catered and the arguments will be philosophical (but maybe no less heated).

Volunteer with TFS

Many humanists feel that to live fulfilling lives includes compassionately engagement in charitable and community improvement projects. When we leave religious organizations it may seem like those opportunities go away, but TFS organizes events throughout the year and you can always volunteer to lead TFS events and meetups!
