THE COMMUNITY TABLE Showcase:
Where Nonprofits, Businesses, and Neighbors Unite
May 9, 2025
3:00 - 7:00 PM
831 Southeast Salmon Street
Join Us to celebrate more than nine years of service, growth, and impact!
This gathering of local nonprofits, entrepreneurs, and businesses is a testament to the strength of our community and the progress we’ve made together towards a more equitable Portland!
While support is always appreciated, our goal for this event is to give back and celebrate the connections, resources, and change we’ve cultivated as an organization. It’s an opportunity to recognize the storms we’ve weathered and the incredible milestones we’ve reached, thanks in large part to the spirit of service and compassion displayed by so many volunteers and supporters across Portland.
With the support of sponsors, this event is 100% free to attend and participate in. When you join us on May 9th, you’ll be part of an inspiring and interactive event that brings people together through the power of food, culture, and connection.
