We are excited to announce that the Forest Park Conservancy was selected to be one of the few charities supported by The Oregon Public House this year! The Oregon Public House is the world’s first non-profit pub, located in NE Portland (click here for the map). A percentage of each bill is donated to charity, and last year they raised over $70,000 for local groups! When patrons pay their bill, they can designate the Forest Park Conservancy which will support our restoration and trail work in the park.
The pub is a welcoming, family-friendly place with great food, and of course, an excellent local beer selection. We encourage you to head over to the pub, and tell your friends and family about it too!
One Yelp reviewer calls it a don’t-miss place, saying:
“The Oregon Public House is a fun and friendly location that makes donating to charity as easy as ordering a pint.”
The Oregon Public House is open Tuesday – Thursday and Sunday from 11:30am – 10pm and Friday/Saturday from 11:30am – 11pm.
If you are interested in helping out, we need more volunteers to sign up for a shift at the pub (clearing tables, pouring water, etc). It’s fun and volunteers get a free beer/beverage and meal with each 4-hour stint. Our volunteer “team” can be up to 4 people at a time, kind of like a mini indoor work party, with beer!
In January, the Forest Park Conservancy shifts are on Fridays from 4pm to 8pm. It changes each month and we are doing this until June 2016. If you are interested in volunteering, visit our Event Calendar, choose a date, and sign up!
If you have have any questions please contact Guy at guy@forestparkconservancy.org or call him at 503 223-5449, ext 106 for all the details.
Head on over to the Oregon Public House website to check out their menus.
