Volunteer Appreciation Dinner
Michelle and Leona, our Tasting volunteers, prepare the kale salad.
On February 16, volunteers from all of our programs came together in the beautiful event space donated by Fred Meyer to celebrate and appreciate one another!
We cooked, ate, shared stories, laughed, and strengthened the Lift Urban Portland community! We left feeling full of love and appreciation for all of our dedicated volunteers.
Thank you to those who were able to make it out, stay tuned for our upcoming Spring Food Drive events!
Amazon Smile Special!
Hunger Action Day in Salem
Lift Urban Portland sent a representative to Salem last month to advocate for hunger and housing legislation alongside organizations such as Partners for a Hunger Free Oregon and the Oregon Food Bank. We are happy to report that HB 4007, a bill supporting low-income housing, passed this week!
