Every Thursday afternoon for the past few weeks, I’ve been facilitating a writing workshop for Write Around Portland. It has been a while since I’ve volunteered in that capacity and it has reminded me how important Write Around Portland is.
I want to say something eloquent about how many lives it has changed and how volunteering for them has changed me completely into a different person – a better person. Because all of that is true. I am on the fourth day of a really killer cold, though and am having a hard time finding eloquent words in my head. So here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to tell you about this event where you go and eat good food at an awesome restaurant to benefit my favorite cause. And then I’m going to link to my other posts I’ve written, both about Write Around Portland and Lincoln. Together? Whoa. Magic. Please join me in celebrating respect, writing, community and good food.

Write Around Portland changes lives through the power of writing. We bring creative writing workshops to homeless youth shelters, senior centers, schools, hospitals, prisons and treatment facilities. By providing journals and pens, bus tickets, snacks, childcare and all workshop materials free of charge we remove obstacles to writing in community. Our writing workshops culminate in community readings and three beautifully designed books annually.
