First Congregational is happy to offer space for Clay Street Tables's important work in Portland. CST serves our low-income and houseless neighbors six days a week; their chief pantry is housed in First Christian just down the street. They have an overflow pantry here at First Congregational storing food for their Latinx pantry. Paul Davis, CST's director, also uses our kitchen for food preparation for the many student groups that CST has volunteering in their program.
First Congregational collects hearty soups to donate to CST every first Sunday of the month, our "Soup Sundays."
