Cook a Meal at the Clark Center (age 4+) *MLK 2012*
Be one of 2,100 volunteers honoring the legacy of Dr. King through meaningful service to communities throughout the Greater Portland area.
From stock in the Clark Center's food closet, we'll prepare a meal and then serve it to the residents in this 90-bed transitional housing shelter for men.Since 1969, Transition Projects has helped thousands of people transcend the streets of Portland. On any given day — today, for example — they’re making the difference in hundreds of lives, providing the tools people need as they transition from homelessness to housing. They offer long-term shelter, plus a unique mix of valuable services that helps people overcome their own barriers to stable housing and employment. Services like job training, continuing education, alcohol, drug and mental health counseling, and more. Along the way, they also impart the kind of valuable life skills most of us take for granted, such as how to manage a checking account, write a resume, fill out a job application, and, ultimately, negotiate a lease. None of these things can happen without more than a thousand annual volunteers, and help from people like you!
