Lift Urban Portland's Monthly eNewsletter Dear Neighbor,Thank you. "The food I receive makes a significant difference in my life. It allows me to both eat and live a little better. It’s far more than appreciation for the staff and food— it’s gratitude," shares Perla, a food box recipient. Healthy Eating Workshops"As someone who doesn't interact with many people, I always look forward to the personal connections." Our Healthy Eating Workshop program is expanding! Thanks to Calbag Metals, SELCO, and St. Mary’s Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, residents at Martha Washington and Musolf Manor have the opportunity to learn valuable healthy cooking skills. We can't wait to continue to grow with and to empower our neighbors. Americana Monday: Benefit Show!"Have a pint, change the world."
