Events

The Events program is new! It was created to fulfill one of the Center’s guiding values: “We recognize the significant health benefits of remaining active and avoiding social isolation.” What better way to put this value into action than by getting together, sharing a meal, seeing attractions, and learning about our city?

There’s so much to see and do in RVA: museums, restaurants, plays, exhibits, historical sites and more.

What: This Event is a Walking Tour/Food Tour of Church Hill. It’s going to be a fun afternoon! We will explore Richmond’s oldest neighborhood while sampling delicious food and snacks from 5 different restaurants. There will be Richmond comfort food, authentic Ethiopian fare, wood fired pastries, and more. (Samples of food will be provided at each stop – enough for a full meal. Vegetarians are welcome.) You will also hear about the birthplace of Richmond, its heroes, and how the restaurant owners got their start.

When: Friday, June 7, 2024, at 1:30. The tour lasts two-and-a-half to three hours, and covers 1.5 easy walking miles. Held rain or shine.

Cost: $50 per person. For members of The Shepherd’s Center of Richmond only. This event is limited to 16 people so register soon!

How Do I Register? Registration is coming soon.

Additional Details:
Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring some water. We’ll be standing at most of our stops, and not staying long enough for beverages to be served.
Transportation is not provided. Participants travel on their own and meet in Churchill (destination to be announced), or parking/carpooling could be arranged from the Shepherd’s Center parking lot at 5101 Monument Ave. if there is interest.
