Every day of the week Our Streets staff prepares hundreds of meals for various shelters in the Portland area. Wednesday evenings the kitchen opens up to volunteers to assist with food prep. This helps carry staff through the week with essential items such as sliced vegetables, herbs and more. Providing the people we serve with well-rounded, nutritious meals is our top priority, and kitchen volunteers help make it all possible.
