Gather & Clean: A Community Effort in SE Portland

Help us beautify our neighborhood as we team up with SOLVE’s Spring Cleanup Week! Stone Soup PDX is a culinary training program for individuals with barriers to employment. From our kitchen, we prepare roughly 1,600 meals weekly for the Portland community—and now, we’re stepping outside to care for the streets around us.

Whether you’re a neighbor, a supporter of a cleaner Portland, or just looking for a way to give back, we’d love for you to join us! Let’s work together to create a cleaner, more welcoming space for everyone.
