Portland’s non-profit organizations need our support. Chamber member, Pete Johnson, financial advisor at Principal Financial Group, will facilitate a discussion on ways to support non-profit organizations, from employer matching and in-kind contributions to planned giving. Chamber member and local non-profit, Leach Botanical Gardens, will be used as a reference for examples of how we can support our local charitable organizations.

EPCC Member Spotlight: SnowCap Community Services (April 22, 2026)

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 14:30:00 GMT

4th Wednesdays are reserved for our members to welcome us into their place of work and tell us all about what they do! Member Spotlights (aka Member hosted) presentations are a great way to really dive in to the nitty gritty and share all about what you have to offer. For this meeting, we're looking forward to visiting a second location for SnowCap Community Services!

From our host:

We are excited to welcome the East Portland Chamber of Commerce at SnowCap Community Services. Guests will have the opportunity to tour our clothing program and ask questions about how we support our neighbors in need. Visitors are also welcome to bring donations of food or clothing to help our community.

Currently, we are especially in need of:

Men’s clothing
Shoes
Pet food
Paper bags
Cans of vegetables or protein, with bonus points for pop-top cans

SnowCap Community Services is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID: 23-7121915) dedicated to providing food, clothing, advocacy, and essential services to those in need. As one of Oregon’s largest sources of food assistance, we serve over 17,000 people across the Portland metro area every month. This vital work is made possible by the dedication of more than 1000 volunteers, guided by a small team of 13 staff members—all without major government funding. The demand for our services continues to grow, and SnowCap remains steadfast in meeting that need.

Every day, we strive to ensure families have access to the basic resources they need to thrive.

Leach Botanical Gardens - Back 5 clean up (June 05, 2026)

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Help a non-profit chamber member grow into summer on the afternoon of Friday, June 5, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Because of budget constraints, Leach Botanical Garden would appreciate our help in their ‘Back 5’ habitat restoration area. This area has been undergoing a transformation over the past six years and serves as an outdoor eco-lab for many students.

We will focus on removing non-native plants in an area with rustic trails and sloped terrain. Wear clothes that can get dirty. Bring your own garden gloves if you have them, otherwise the Garden will provide them. The Garden will provide all necessary tools. A hat, and sunscreen are also recommended. The chamber will have water on hand.

The garden is located at 6704 SE 122nd Ave, in Portland, one block south of Foster Road.

Contact Annie Winn at awinn@leachgarden.org with any questions.
