Potluck provides a resource table at each weekly meal and at the Christmas Dinner to help our guests meet emergency needs. We are always in need of donated items which will be distributed on Sundays; and volunteers are always needed to work the Resource Table and to help with clean-up after each Sunday meal.

Items needed for the resource table are..

• Soap

• Shampoo

• Backpacks or other sturdy bags

• Socks, gently used or new

• Deodorant

• Toilet paper (even partial rolls)

• Foot powder or baby powder

• Chapstick, Lotion

• Tampons or maxi-pads

• Combs or brushes

• Toothpaste and tooth brushes

• Razors

• Used eyeglasses and reading glasses

• Sleeping bags

• Blankets

• Hats, scarves, gloves or mittens

If you go to the Dollar Scholar, 3279 SE Hawthorne Blvd., 503-235-2222, and tell them that you are purchasing items for Potluck in the Park, you will receive a 10% discount. If you need a receipt for donated items, we can provide you with one with our tax ID# on it.

We ask that personal care items be new and unopened. This does not apply to backpacks and bags, blankets, sleeping bags and clothing.

Unfortunately we don’t have the capacity to accept furniture or household items. We suggest you call the Oregon Community Warehouse at 503-235-8786 to make this type of donation.

If you or someone you know would like to donate items, or volunteer, or if you know of a business that would post a flyer requesting donations from its staff, please call Potluck at 503-255-7611, or email us at contact@potluckinthepark.org. We will arrange for the pick up of the donated items

Thank you for your generous assistance!
