While Rome Burns returns from our hot August vacation with a bang-up September show featuring two great acts: The Roadless Travelers and The Twisted 2. As always, 100% of the money we raise goes to our cause-du-jour. In September that would be Beautiful Portland, a non-profit with a mission to ease food insecurity for Portland area residents by funding and supporting the efforts of food-sharing volunteer groups such as Free Hot Soup (another WRB beneficiary).

Beautiful Portland was launched in August, 2018 by members of the neighbor-to-neighbor food sharing grassroots group Free Hot Soup, when they were approached by Portland City officials regarding the possibility of operating a city park specifically for food-sharing purposes. Though the opportunity of operating a dedicated park to food-sharing continues to hang in the city’s balance, Beautiful Portland has been actively fundraising to support the current efforts of volunteers food-sharing in downtown Portland Director Park, as well as preparing for the possibility of a leasing and insuring a dedicated park. It is Beautiful Portland’s mission to not only ease the burden of food insecurity for Portland area residents, but to also ease the burden of out-of-pocket expenses for volunteers sharing food, in order to make their efforts more sustainable.
