Hour 98, 99 and 100: Potluck in the Park

Volunteers Prepare the Potluck

For my 100th hour of community service in 2012, I returned to O'Bryant Square in downtown Portland for Potluck in the Park. PITP has not missed serving a Sunday afternoon meal since 1991, and this Sunday was no different. However, in addition to the standard hot meal they were giving donated Christmas trees to those in need. Today I worked the cold bar, serving bread, Christmas cookies and cake to the guests. Today there were 30-40 volunteers setting up, serving the meal and then cleaning up. Just after 3pm the flodgates openind and approx. 600 guests wound there way through the maze of food stations. PITP has lots of food options, hot and cold, for the hungry of Portland. I, and many of the other volunteers I met on Sunday, signed up for the event through Hands on Greater Portland.
