Filipina on the Rise x Fresno chapter [Nov 2025]

We’re back!

After taking October off, we’re going into the holiday season with a cozy, community-filled Filipina on the Rise gathering. This month is all about togetherness, sweetness, and those small traditions that make the holidays feel like home.

🍪 What’s happening this month

We’re hosting a Cookie Exchange -- our first one! Bring a batch of your favorite cookies (or, if baking isn’t your thing, bring your go-to savory snack). Tita Cathy is bringing boxes so everyone can take home a little assortment of their favorites.

If you’re new to cookie exchanges: think potluck, but cuter. Everyone brings one treat, everyone leaves with a box of mixed goodies.

💛 Plus a little treat… just for being there

As part of this night of fun, you’ll also get early access to shop the Maarte holiday drop in collaboration with Be My Belle Designs before it hits the world!

✨ What to expect

• Warm conversation

• Shared stories

• A gentle moment to pause before the holidays

• New friends + familiar faces

• A little sweetness to take home

Come as you are. Bring cookies or a snack, and let’s close out the year in the softest, most Filipina way.
