Monthly social and mug collection

Join us for our monthly first Wednesday potluck. Come chat with us about placemaking through shared and reclaimed spaces, creating community, and sustainable practices! We’ll have snacks.

We're also always looking for donations of clean, gently used mugs to help us reduce waste and promote sustainability. These mugs will be used to serve warm drinks at gatherings and workshops, creating a welcoming atmosphere while eliminating the need for single-use cups.

Placemaking Event: Bench Completion + All Souls Procession!

Thank you so much to those who participated in City Repair's design-build workshop at the Rebuilding Center as part of VBC 2024! We're finally ready to dust off the project and finish what we started. Kicking off City Repair's monthly Placemaking Event Series, we'll be gathering to add the finishing structure, paint, and weatherproofing for the bench's final home. After the workshop, we'll join in on the All Souls Procession at Green Anchors and Cathedral Park, which is a short 5-10 minute walk away.

Bench Completion + Potluck

Where: Private address in St. John’s - RSVP to aroch@cityrepair.org for address!

When: 12pm-4pm

What: Completing our design-build bench and sharing food and company! This will be a casual work party rather than a workshop environment. 

Bring: A dish, snack or drink to share. Feel free to bring things to be cooked on the grill. We'll be working with tools in a garage/outside with rain cover, so please dress accordingly. 

All Souls Procession 

Where: Green Anchors, 8940 N Bradford St. Portland, OR 97203

When: Procession from 5pm-7pm, with an optional afterparty

What: A community art event and ritual celebration honoring the dead, complete with costumes, puppets, and live music. Learn more here: https://pdxallsouls.org/ 

Bring: A Day of the Dead/All Souls-inspired outfit (or makeup and supplies to put together a mask after/during the bench gathering!) Don’t forget to dress for rain!

All are welcome, including folks who did not participate in the original workshop. Let me know if you have any questions and please RSVP by emailing Austin at aroch@cityrepair.org. You're welcome to join in one or both events!
