Thanks for making our Eat & Greet so special!

Dear Friends,

Over 750 neighbors showed up to make this one unforgettable night! We filled the TriMet lot at 122nd & Burnside and closed down Ash Street for an evening full of food, fun, and community magic. From the petting zoo and live music to the raffle and delicious eats, there was something for everyone.

What made it truly special? Seeing homeowners and unhoused neighbors, shelter residents and apartment tenants, families of all races, backgrounds, and beliefs come together—not just side by side, but shoulder to shoulder—as neighbors.

We’re just getting started! More photos and moments are coming your way in the next few weeks, so stay tuned as we keep reliving the joy of this beautiful night.
