Lift Urban Portland's Monthly eNewsletter Dear Neighbor,Our annual gala, Making Connections, is next week. It’s a great time to take a moment to appreciate all our community partners, volunteers, and supporters that help our programs thrive. A resident at one of our adopted buildings shared with us: “Thank you! Everything you do to help the community revitalizes my faith and hope in people as a whole.” With gratitude, Executive Director Supper Club at Uptown Towers! Thanks to Zion Lutheran Church's adoption of Uptown Towers, residents have been gathering around the table Thursday afternoons to participate in Supper Club. It has been wonderful expanding the table each week as new residents join due to the word of mouth and lingering smells down the hall. We are excited to return next year! Interested in volunteering at Supper Club? Contact Andrea: AWS Elemental Packed 1,250 Pounds of Food! An amazing team from AWS Elemental joined us in our warehouse to pack delivered food boxes!
