Help Make 'Fete' Fantastic!

Our annual fundraiser, dinner, and auction is our largest event of the year, and it’s a great way for volunteers to support the work of Neighborhood House! Proceeds from Fete Locale support our programs, which serve low-income and vulnerable children, families, and seniors throughout Portland. This year's event is Saturday, May 11th at the Multnomah Athletic Club.

Volunteer opportunities are outlined below; please register at bit.ly/fetevolunteer.
