Final week of meal service + Pick up for art swag bags
Today marks 14 years since the death of Coretta Scott-King, an icon of the Civil Rights Movement. Please take a moment to honor and research her work - in addition to founding The King Center, she dedicated her life to Black liberation through outreach and education.

This was our final ‘Not Black Friday’ week of free meal deliveries, we are grateful for the opportunities and relationships built through this mutual aid program! For the last 3 months we have been able to provide over 2,000 meals to those in need throughout Oregon and Washington. Thank you so much to Lisa Schroeder of Mother’s Bistro, our dependable and talented team of chefs and volunteers who have gone above and beyond planning, cooking, organizing and delivering these meals!
We couldn’t do this work without all of your support - we are endlessly grateful that we’re able to serve our communities through these unprecedented times.

Thank you to Fifth Column Films, Mika Martinez and Portland Drone for taking the time to be on site and capture these moments! Thank you to all of the artists for being part of the call to action and proving that you can’t control art.

We will be hosting an event at Dawson Park on February 9th, 2021 from 3:30 until 6pm to arrange art swag bag pickups for those who did not receive them at the MLK March.
Please reach out to receive the youth curriculum in order to receive a tote bag at the event!
We will be pre-packing bags to make this a contactless pick-up and will be abiding by social distancing guidelines - please wear a mask when you arrive to receive your items! The facebook event page is here.
