Potluck in the Park

Serving the Hungry Every Week

Outreach purchases all supplemental food to be cooked by parishioners every Sunday to feed 500-plus hungry persons in downtown Portland. Last year 29,000 people were given a meal.

Rain or shine, 52 weeks a year, hundreds of needy people have a hot meal and a community gathering place because generous supporters like you.

Understanding food is a human right and hunger is a human wrong. Every Sunday for twenty-five years Potluck in the Park volunteers have prepared and served healthy wholesome meals with dignity and kindness. The secret to Potluck in the Park's staying power is the story of its people.

Our tenacious teams of career volunteers have inspired thousands of other volunteers to donate their time, talent and money to fight hunger in Portland. Their dedication and passion has made Potluck in the Park a touchstone for a community in crisis.
