Volunteer in Portland completed it's final volunteer projects before the end of the the League year with a number of volunteer events, including two events at Raphael House: a crockpot cooking event and a Mother's Day Brunch. For the crockpot cooking event, The Junior League brought crockpots and a recipe to the shelter, talked about the recipe, and gave each attendee a crockpot that had been doanted by members of the League. These crockpots in many cases are the only kitchen appliances they women have when they leave shelter. The Mother's Day Brunch was a time for mothers and children, both current and past shelter residents, to enjoy a meal prepared by League members and to celebate their strengths as mothers. Both events were a wonderful success.
Volunteer in Portland also faciliated the delivery of books from Childrens Book Bank to a Portland classroom. The volunteers delivered the book bags and also read books to children in the classroom. These children do not have access to books and the books they received will help promote literacy over the summer when they are not in school and have less access to books.
