Neighborhood Meetings and regularly scheduled Neighborhood Potlucks:
We provide a public meeting space for community residents. Our potlucks provide a time for people to visit with neighbors and to meet new ones. This is a very important factor in combating the sense of isolation that can so easily overtake people in this community.

These occur the first Wednesday of every odd month. The next Linnton Town Meeting will be July 11, 2007 @ 7:00 pm. Potluck starts @ 6:30 pm. Call Ross 503-289-1160 for information.

Scrapbooking Class:
This class will start in the fall. The teacher for this class is a Creative Memories instructor. This is a time for people to get together in a group, socialize and put their home photo albums together. This is also a time to learn to do some very beautiful things to display our photographs in an album. Call Pat at 503-475-3731 for information.

Homeless outreach:
A team of volunteers and staff make every effort to visit homeless camps in the Linnton area to assess needs and extend help as needed. We also provide a shower and free telephone for their use.

We also provide brochures at no cost demonstrating how to prepare the fish caught from the Portland Harbor Superfund Site (mainly Linnton) safely. This brochure is available n the downstairs lobby at the Linnton Community Center .

Acknowledging that many people depend on fish from the Linnton area for sustenance this brochure was created to identify which breeds of fish are safest to eat, which ones to avoid, how to prepare them to remove the parts where the toxins are stored & amounts safe for different groups of people to consume per week. This Brochure was created as the product of a partnership between the Linnton Community Center, the Oregon Department of Human Services and the Benson High school Health Occupation Program to meet a need.

Children’s summer camp:
Children come as early as 6:30am and participate in the breakfast club. There is a morning of activities which includes using large motor and fine motor skills. Each day has a separate theme including Science, animals and nature, arts and culture, Spanish, reading and literature & sports and games.

Field trips are planned based on these themes. These field trips allow children who otherwise would not be able to experience the many rich opportunities that our offered throughout the City of Portland. Examples are trips to Omsi, the Zoo & The Audubon Society among others.

We have a local artist that comes in on a weekly basis. She works with different art mediums with the children each week. Every Thursday a field trip is taken to the Multnomah County Library. This allows the children of this area to participate in the Libraries Summer Reading Program. Library staff work with the children and give rewards for reading independently. The children track their own reading time and turn in their time for credits.

The camp also offers Childrens Cooking Classes. The children often prepare their own afternoon snack with the organically grown produce from their own “community garden”.Some very creative things are done in the Arts & Culture time block. Children enroll in different time blocks depending on their interests & need. Call Daniel 503-286-4990 for information.
