| Portland Potluck (Eastside) |
| May 20 (5:00 - 8:00 PM) |
Join us for our monthly Portland Potluck on Sunday, May 20, followed by John Collins, N.D., talking about healthy vegan nutrition for children. The potluck will be at the Friends Meeting Hall, 4312 SE Stark, Portland, OR.
John Collins is a naturopathic physician with over 30 years' experience caring for children. At home, Dr. Collins and his wife Kit raised three well-nourished vegetarian/vegan children. They also operate Out to Pasture Animal Sanctuary, a permanent residence for abused and neglected animals located in Estacada, Oregon.
Come for the potluck at 5, the talk at 6:30, or both.
Please bring a plant-based (no animal products, including honey) main dish, salad, or dessert; a card listing its ingredients; and plates and utensils for your use. Need plant-based ideas? Click here. If you come alone, figure the amount to serve 4–6 generously; increase the amount 4 servings for each additional person in your party/family. Northwest VEG potlucks are alcohol-free events, and we start eating at about 5:15. For more information, call 503-746-8344 or email info@nwveg.org. A donation of $2–5 per person is suggested to help cover the cost of the room rental.
