Opportunity Details

Bridgetown Night Strike (age 5+) Referral

Night Strike is a unique opportunity for people to gather under the Burnside Bridge on the park side of Naito Parkway every Thursday night and love people, because people matter!

It is an opportunity for members of Portland’s homeless community to come together in a safe environment, enjoy a hot meal, receive a free haircut and items for dignity such as soap and shampoo, have their feet washed and have their old shoes/clothes/sleeping bags replaced.

It is also a chance for you to come down and share in the experience, help serve the needs of the homeless in our community, and more importantly, invest in lives and build relationships with the people you meet.

Bridgetown (aka BTown Inc.) exists to develop and sustain relational environments that create movement within groups and individuals to demonstrate love and generosity lived out in the world. BTown Inc. creates relational environments that provide relief, mobilization and transformation.

Please wear closed-toe shoes, clothing appropriate for outdoor wear during the season, and modest dress for females due to the nature of some of the service jobs.
