During May, June and July our special fund-raising drive Operation Cornbread will support the 400-450 meals we serve a day. Our goal is to raise $20,000 that will be matched two-to-one by Operation Cornbread Matching Grants. Every dollar you donate will become three!

The money we raise will support the work of Sisters throughout the summer months - when people are hungry for a good low-cost meal, when children are out of school and need a safe place to eat, and when seasonal workers are looking for a safe welcoming place to enjoy a solid, low-cost meal.

They need you!

After the event, the new socks will be put in to the Sisters’ hygiene barter program. Meet us at the May Day March rallying place, in Portland’s South Park Blocks between 9th and Park, and between Main and Salmon.
