Nearly 20,000 charitable nonprofits across Oregon positively impact our communities every day. Oregon’s nonprofits are one of the ways Oregonians show love for our communities and our state.
Although charitable giving occurs throughout the year, the fourth quarter of each year is a critical fundraising time for nonprofits. As a result of the changes to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, we want to ensure Oregon nonprofits are at the forefront of people’s minds during this giving season. To encourage Oregonians to give generously to support them, the Nonprofit Association of Oregon created this short video – Care Like An Oregonian.
Last Thursday, MFS Hunger Relief programs held a Vietnamese cooking class at West Powellhurst, led by MFS Hunger Relief AmeriCorps member Thu Le, and two Vietnamese community members. They taught parents, students and volunteers how to make Vietnamese salad rolls and peanut sauce, sticky coconut rice, and a Vietnamese chicken and vegetable soup. 🥥🍲🍴
Each family took home a bag of healthy groceries and recipes! Thank you, Portland Children’s Levy for the support!
This is one of THIRTY healthy cooking workshops being held by the MFS Hunger Relief team at our SUN Schools!
