Proper Thanksgiving Feast-ival 2015
Donation protected
North Portland community enhancement organization, PROPER, and non-profit soul food cafe, Po’Shines, and the Kenton community are teaming up to host a free Thanksgiving Feast on Thursday, November 26th, from noon to 4pm. The dinner is open to the greater community and encourages volunteer participation and community contributions.
The event marks the 15th annual Kenton Thanksgiving dinner that PROPER has hosted for the North Portland community. Over the years the event has enjoyed continual support from the community, through participation and donations of money, food, and time.
The PROPER organization also puts on an annual community festival each August. The festival is comprised of and organized by local artists, associations, businesses and invested residents. In all of the community events that we host, PROPER strives to gather maximum community involvement and support. For instance, this marks the 8th year that PROPER has partnered with Po’Shines Cafe for the Thanksgiving Feast-ival.
“We jump at opportunities like this,” says Chef James Bradley, “The more we can get people working together, talking together…and even eating together, the stronger we are as a community. The PROPER Thanksgiving Feed is a great example of how to build community.”
We have 2 goals for this event:
* Treat 1500 people to a home away from home experience! Meaning delicious dinners made with skill and love, live music from the community, and a welcoming attitude of humble service!
* Provide the the absolute finest Thanksgiving dinner experience of its kind!
This year, the organizations hope to reach more community members than ever before. This year will feature a full Thanksgiving dinner with vegetarian options and live music.
Address is 8131 N. Denver Portland, OR 97217
You can help! Donations of goods, as well as monetary donations, are welcome. If you are able to provide in-kind donations, please contact Robin Gordon at [phone redacted] – [email redacted].
