Many thanks to Cassie Cohen of Groundwork Portland and Jenn Bildersee of the Portland Brownfields Program for joining us for an educational lunch covering the history of brownfields, brownfields and environmental justice issues in Portland, and local, regional, and national resources. 

A day of awareness and celebration of real, locally-sourced, sustainable and safe food on October 24, 2011.

On November 6, 2010, a group of EJA Food Security volunteers teamed up with Growing Gardens, a Portland nonprofit dedicated to getting at the root of local hunger, to dig garden beds for area residents. Our team raised over $700 to support the garden of a low-income family in SE for 3 years! Thanks to our donors and volunteers for making this event possible!
