Potluck brings the world to lunch.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
DETROIT _ Potluck lunches are great for building workplace camaraderie. They let people work together on something besides the annual report. The food is free, which everyone likes. It's homemade, which makes it feel special. And you'll usually find some new and unusual dish you haven't tried before.
But few could match the culinary variety of the potlucks at the Lutheran Social Services' Refugee and Immigration Services and Employment and Placement Services office in Southfield, Mich.
There, in a high-rise office building, about 35 social workers, language instructors and others work to help refugees build new lives after they've escaped war, genocide or political upheaval in their home countries.
It's a plight the staff knows intimately because almost all of them came to the United States as refugees.
Name a major conflict around the globe in the last 20 or 30 years and you're likely to find someone from that region on the resettlement staff.
