On Saturday, December 5th from 5:30pm - 8:30pm, Meristem will host a special community gathering celebrating connection, impact, and shared purpose. This afternoon event will bring together local leaders, supporters, and advocates to honor Meristem’s transformative work empowering young adults on the autism spectrum. Guests will enjoy meaningful conversation, light refreshments, and an opportunity to deepen their connection to Meristem’s mission and the vibrant community it serves.

From 6:30-8:30pm, join us for an unforgettable Gala showcasing chef prepared fine dining, local wines and brews, an inspirational message from our honoree, moving performances, and auction, all curated the Meristem way.  

Feast of the Wreaths brings together local leaders, changemakers, and supporters to share in a special evening of connection, joy, and impact. 2026 marks our first year presenting our Awaken The Possible Award presented this year to Phil and Julie Angelides who have made vast differences in autism advocacy.

Every dollar raised at our celebration supports Meristem’s mission empowering autistic and neurodiverse young adults in building a life of greater capacities, confidence and independence.

Now in its fifth year, Feast of the Wreaths has become one of Meristem’s most anticipated events, it is a celebration of community and the power of the possible.
