Feb. 8 Brown Bag Day

You are here: Home / Events / Feb. 8 Brown Bag Day

By Betsy Toll

Brown Bag Day

  • Friday, February 8, 2018: 8:30 AM (food prep), then 10 AM– Noon (give away)
  • Friends Meeting House, 4312 Southeast Stark Street, Portland [MAP]

Because everyone needs to eat, right? Everyone.
No questions, no judgement — just food.

Come lend a hand on Brown Bag Day. We make 100-150 nourishing lunches (with hot homemade soup in cold weather), and then deliver them on the streets to folks who are hungry. Simple. Every person getting a Brown Bag will have at least one full meal that day.

Everyone needs a healthy, filling meal, and the more of us who show up, the more lunches we can offer to folks on the street. No experience needed, just a kind heart and a couple of hours on Friday morning. Let us know if you can help, or if you have any questions.

WHERE & WHEN & WHAT:

Meet at Friends Meeting House, 4312 SE Stark, Portland, to prepare food from 8:30–10:00 AM. Then head out in teams to offer lunches to folks under bridges, on street corners, and in doorways. Every lunch includes a fresh deli-style sandwich, fruit, a hardboiled egg, cookies, water, and other munchies. And we include homemade soup in the cold months.
