SUMMARY:Community blood drive!
DESCRIPTION:Walk in or sign up for an appointment to donate blood\, plus get a free Fandango movie ticket! \nP. ¿Donar sangre es seguro?\nR. Donar sangre es un proceso bastante seguro. La sangre de cada donante se recolecta con una aguja nueva y estéril que se usa una sola vez y luego se desecha. Además\, cada donante recibe un mini examen médico antes de la donación para asegurar que se encuentra en buena condición física como para donar ese día. \nQ. Is it safe to donate blood?\nA. Donating blood is a safe process. Each donor’s blood is collected through a new\, sterile needle that is used once and then discarded. Additionally\, each donor will be given a mini-physical prior to donations to ensure they are healthy enough to donate that day.\n11. P. ¿Por qué es importante que las personas latinas donen sangre?\nR. Las personas latinas juegan un papel fundamental en ayudar a los pacientes que necesitan productos sanguíneos para salvar sus vidas. Uno de cada siete pacientes que ingresa a un hospital de EE.UU. necesitará productos sanguíneos. Aproximadamente el 57% de los hispanos tiene sangre del tipo O. La sangre de tipo O es la que más se transfunde\, es el tipo de sangre con mayor demanda y por lo general su suministro es crítico. \nLa sangre que está en los estantes es la que salva vidas durante una emergencia y la que ayuda a asegurar que los pacientes que luchan contra enfermedades crónicas como el cáncer tengan la fuerza para seguir luchando. \nAproximadamente una de cada tres personas hispanas será diagnosticada con cáncer a lo largo de su vida. Muchos de estos pacientes necesitarán productos sanguíneos en su lucha contra el cáncer. Una cuarta parte del suministro de sangre de EE.UU. se utiliza para ayudar a tratar a pacientes de cáncer—más que cualquier otro tipo de enfermedad. \nQ. Why is it important for Latinos to give blood?\nA. Latinos play a critical role in helping patients in need of lifesaving blood products. 1 in 7 patients entering a hospital in the U.S. will need blood products. Approximately 57% of Hispanics have type O blood. Type O blood is the most transfused blood type\, the one with the highest demand and is most often in critical supply. \nIt’s the blood on the shelves that saves lives in an emergency and helps ensure patients battling chronic illnesses like cancer have the strength to keep fighting. \nApproximately 1 in 3 Hispanics will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. Many of these patients will require blood products in the fight to beat cancer. A quarter of the U.S. blood supply is used to help treat cancer patients —more than any other disease type.

SUMMARY:Community Harvest Mondays

SUMMARY:enfoque: Building Community Through Shared Leadership with Latinx Choral Project
DESCRIPTION:Join the Latinx Choral Project for a conversation exploring how community arts organizations can move beyond traditional hierarchical structures and embrace leadership models rooted in shared responsibility\, belonging\, and collective care. Inspired by Latine cultural traditions of mutual aid and community stewardship\, the Latinx Choral Project is developing a values-based organizational framework centered on Casitas—small leadership circles that guide key areas such as membership\, communications\, outreach\, operations\, fundraising\, and artistic vision. What happens when community members become co-creators rather than passive participants? How can organizations cultivate leadership at every level? What structures support both artistic excellence and authentic community engagement? Through dialogue\, storytelling\, and reflection\, attendees will explore questions about power\, participation\, and decision-making\, and imagine new possibilities for building arts organizations that are more inclusive\, sustainable\, and responsive to the communities they serve. \nBased in Portland\, the Latinx Choral Project is a Latine-led community choir dedicated to building belonging through song. Founded by Lynn Mendoza-Khan\, who received a 2026-2027 Milagro Artist Fund grant to support essential program costs for he group\, so that the organization can continue to share the rich musical traditions\, cultures\, and stories of Latin America while creating meaningful connections across generations and communities. Through performances\, educational programs\, and collaborative artistic experiences\, the Latinx Choral Project amplifies underrepresented voices and increases access to choral music. Singers of all backgrounds are welcome to participate in a joyful\, inclusive environment where cultural pride\, artistic excellence\, and community care come together to inspire\, heal\, and unite. \nRunning time: 2 hours\nAge recommendation: All ages

SUMMARY:Community Harvest Mondays
DESCRIPTION:Community Harvest Mondays is a weekly volunteer gathering rooted in stewardship\, shared labor\, and food access. Each Monday\, community members join us in the field to support seasonal maintenance and harvest fresh produce for local food distribution. \nVolunteers participate in hands-on agricultural work\, planting\, weeding\, harvesting\, washing\, and packing\, while learning how food moves from soil to community. A portion of each harvest supports local food access efforts\, helping ensure fresh\, culturally relevant produce reaches families in our area. Volunteers are also invited to take home a share of the harvest as appreciation for their time and contribution. \nThis is an opportunity to build practical skills\, connect with the land\, and take part in a consistent\, meaningful effort to grow and share food with dignity and care. \nNo prior experience is necessary. All are welcome.
