"I am the director of a St Johns non-profit, Swapnplay Community Sharing. It is part of Swapnplay's mission to promote sharing and provide a large scale community event that supports building community through sharing. We do this through hosting an annual event called Trash to Treasure (T2T), held at Red Sea Church annually the Saturday after Earth Day.
In years past Red Sea has partnered with the event in a very tangible way. The church has provided food around lunchtime and served the food to our neighbors coming to the event. This year due to limited resources they are unable to participate in this way. The food aspect creates a very special hospitality to the event that people really love. Just last week I was talking with James, who works at the Goodwill donation truck on Ivanhoe, and he was asking when the event was and going on about how the meal aspect really provides community connections.
Would the church of North Portland please consider filling this piece of our partnerships? This year Trash to Treasure is on April 27. If you would consider this at all I would love to meet with you in person to fill in the details of what that would even mean."

It would be great to have 2-3 people meet with Dre to lead the effort. For more information or to spearhead, contact dre@swapnplay.org or phone 503.544.3996
