Mitzvah Day

On Sunday, May 19, 2024, close to 250 CBI members (and a llama!)  volunteered throughout our community to make the world a better place.

We assembled 400 summer care kits for Blanchet House. We painted and gardened for Cascadia Clusters. We created 100 welcome home kits for Community Warehouse. We beautified CBI’s cemetery. We wrote postcards for Every Voice, Every Vote. We sorted clothing donations for Friends of Seasonal & Service Workers. We organized food donations at Lift UP. We collected donations for NW Tower and New Avenues for Youth. We made dog and cat toys for the Pixie Project. We assembled food sacks for Portland Backpack. We made no-sew blankets for Project Lemonade. We created blankets with Project Linus. We assembled hygiene care kits for Rose Haven Women’s Shelter. We made 500 sack lunches for Transition Projects.

And we got to socialize with llamas! What a day!

Let’s do it again next year (watch this page for details)…
