ABOUT THE GIVEAWAY

We’ve always valued simplicity. No complicated rules, no hidden tactics, and definitely no pressure to chase likes or shares. Just real, honest participation. That’s why we kept it simple—one clear poll in our WhatsApp group of 190+ freelancers and another on LinkedIn. With 34 genuine votes combined, here we are.

This giveaway goes beyond just offering a free meal. At its heart, it reflects what WordPress is really about—community, collaboration, and care. Picture this: after long hours of fixing bugs, handling clients, and managing support tickets, you finally sit down with fellow WordPress folks for a homemade lunch. It’s more than food—it’s a moment of recognition, support, and shared understanding.

As our community grows, we want the same spirit of togetherness to grow with it. That’s why we’ve invited some of the most well-known people in WordPress—not just as guests, but as part of our shared table.

We’ve now delivered seven giveaway lunches, and today we will celebrate our eighth one. Scroll down to see photos from the last three giveaways—real WordPress people, real food, and the kind of happiness only this community brings.

Tia will be selecting the winner of our 8th lunch giveaway, which ends on Thursday, June 26, 2025.

We’re sharing participants’ photos, names, titles, and links. This helps make the winner selection more personal and meaningful—especially since our guest might not know everyone. A photo and a short title, like “Digital Marketing Expert,” give context and connection, rather than just choosing a number at random.

Plus, if one of our guests wants to connect with someone later, they can easily come back to this page. You never know what opportunity might follow!

The list is complete. The stories are ready to be discovered. Now, it’s up to someone who truly values trust, good vibes, and real connections to make the choice.

Everything’s set—just waiting for our guest to choose the winner.

We’re sharing this update with you now, but the participant list will quietly reach Tia between 9:00 and 11:00 AM EST. She’ll take a moment to look through each name and face—and choose the one that stands out to her.

And who knows—she might even share what caught her attention. Maybe a short note. Maybe a story. Maybe just a small spark that stood out.

Fingers crossed. It’s often the little moments that bring the biggest surprises.

Stay tuned. We will announce the 8th lunch giveaway winner in our next post. Good luck to everyone who joined this giveaway!
