Can you help by cooking for shelter residents?

in ,
Looking for a way to engage in your community from your kitchen? We’ve got just the thing! Cook for a Community Potluck at one of our shelters this month. It’s on Saturday, August 17th at our Gresham Women’s Shelter (in outer East Portland).

If you or a group (friend, church, family…) are able, please consider bringing a dish (or two!) so our residents can have a hearty and healthy meal!

See what’s needed and sign up here!

How our community potlucks work at our shelters:

  • You prepare a home-made dish for about 20 people (we combine it with dishes from other volunteers to create a delicious potluck meal that feeds a crowd!)
  • Sign up here to bring a dish on August 17th
  • Drop off on Saturday between 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. Please deliver the food in disposable containers and bring any hot meals as close to 5:30 p.m. as possible – so they stay hot!

Please sign up to bring a dish – and invite a friend! This is a wonderful activity to do together with friends or family :-)

A word about food safety: protect friends, family, and yourself from illness by preparing safe food! You can find guidelines for safe food preparation here.

Thanks for all you do to keep our community fabric strong! We appreciate you.
