Every Sunday since 1991, Potluck in the Park has provided a free, hot meal for anyone in need. Rain or shine, 52 weeks a year, hundreds of Portlanders come together in the North Park Blocks near PNCA for nourishment, dignity, and community.
Each meal is made possible through the dedication of our volunteers and the generosity of donors who believe that no one in our city should go hungry.
Join us beside the sculpture on NW Glisan Street between 8th Avenue and Park Avenue—just one block west of Broadway and one block south of the Main Post Office.
Meal Service: Noon – 2:30pm
Clean-Up: 2:00pm-2:30pm
Getting Ready to Serve
Dress comfortably in layers—we work outdoors in all weather.
Eat before you arrive; we ask that volunteers not eat during their shift so we can serve as many guests as possible (unless you are personally in need).
Plan for parking—street spaces fill quickly, so allow time to walk to the meal site.
No food handler’s card is needed, but we do follow restaurant safety rules: tie back long hair and please stay home if you’re feeling unwell.
