In May 2025, the Office of Sustainability presented the Portland Learn Share Do Fair with co-hosts Community Services Network and the City of Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability.
What people did at the Portland Learn Share Do Fair
Event attendees enjoyed fun hands-on activities for the whole family. Most people left with practical giveaways like pantry items, air purifiers, air filters, seeds, bike helmets. Community organizations enjoyed lively conversations with members of the community, sharing tips, ideas, and service offerings about preparing for extreme heat, emergency preparedness, saving energy and money on your utility bills, caring for trees and plants, making non-toxic cleaners, gardening, transportation options, and more.
