Every March, the city’s top restaurants offer three-course meals for a great price, making it the best time to experience one of the nation’s most talked-about culinary destinations – affordably. Travel Portland donates money to the Oregon Food Bank for each reservation made through the OpenTable links listed here. Scroll down the list to see the participating restaurants and their featured menus (which are subject to change).
Each month the MJCC and PJA communities will collect items for the monthly mitzvah. Drop off items in the green bin in the MJCC lobby. Check the display for how you can participate and donate to these worthy causes.
This project reflects the Jewish commitment to Tikkun Olam (repairing the world), providing opportunities to give back to our community.
Please drop off items in the green bin in the MJCC Lobby.
