Hello, Washington County! 🎉
With SNAP benefits coming to a stop in November, this could be a stressful month for a lot of people in our community. If you have the means, now is a great time to donate time and/or money to our food banks. The Oregon Food Bank has some great opportunities.
If you could use some extra support with food, there are a number of food banks across Washington County and the Portland area that could help. I’ve created a new page on the website highlighting food banks across the area: Washington County Food Banks. Please share it with anyone you know who may need it! Also, please let me know if there are resources I should add to the list.
Always check the event source before heading out, as details can change last minute. I collect events and create this list by hand, so events aren’t automatically updated if there’s a change.
✅ means it’s a free event. If you’re enjoying a free event at a spot with food or drinks, show some love by supporting the venue!
