A hot meal can do amazing things for a person.

Founded on this simple idea, Potluck in the Park works to nourish and enrich the lives of Portlanders in need—by providing nutritious food and genuine human connection. Every Sunday, volunteers prepare, transport, and serve 300–550 meals, each costing about $1.50 to make and deliver.

We’re entirely community-powered—no paid staff, no government funding. Every dollar you give goes directly to food, storage, and supplies for our weekly meals. In addition to nourishment, guests receive the Rose City Resource Guide, connecting them to local support services, and are always welcomed with dignity, respect, and kindness.
