This is the biggest vegan potluck of the year in Oregon. Join us at the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Beaverton for a shared compassionate pre-holiday meal. This event is the Sunday before Thanksgiving.
The Portland Tofurky Trot is back! This event welcomes the whole family, including strollers and friendly pups, to Trot a 5K at your own pace to benefit Oregon farm sanctuaries. Our course is nearly the same as last year, starting outside the Oaks Park Roller Rink and crossing the Willamette River and back on the Sellwood Bridge.
