SUMMARY:EVENT FULL - MLK Day of Service and Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:Our land tending event is full\, we still encourage you to donate to a BIPOC led organization.\nDue to staff capacity if you show up to the service event without prior registration you will be turned away.  \n  \nDr. Martin Luther King Junior dedicated his life to advancing civil rights and fighting racism and oppression. To honor his legacy\, we will be fundraising for BIPOC led organizations working for racial justice and leading a land tending event at Powell Butte.  \nWe know that groups and individuals often look for service opportunities on Dr. MLK Jr. day\, and our organization has long held an event on this day of service. If you would like to participate\, we encourage everyone to volunteer AND DONATE to a BIPOC led group working for racial justice.  \nNot sure who to support? Here are some organizations we suggest.  \nThe Blueprint Foundation – Empowering future generations by providing culturally responsive mentoring and experiential learning opportunities along various pathways so they can build their own futures and careers. \nLove is Stronger – Through the power of love\, we build healing\, accountability\, and safety for Portland kids and families impacted by gang violence across generations. \nEthiopian and Eritrean Cultural and Resource Community – Empower Ethiopians\, Eritreans\, and other African refugees and immigrants by providing culturally appropriate services and resources that promote self-sufficiency\, integration\, and success. \nA huge thank you to Portland Parks and Recreation for helping to organize this event and to our generous funders that make the volunteer program possible. Thank you to the Mintkeski Family Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation\, Portland General Electric\, City of Gresham\, Clackamas Water Environment Services\, and City of Portland’s Bureau of Environmental Services.
