Night Strike is a weekly gathering under the Burnside Bridge on the park side of Naito Parkway to help serve members of Portland’s homeless community. Night Strike provides Portland’s homeless an opportunity to hang out, enjoy a hot meal, receive a free hair cut, shave, have their feet washed and have their old shoes/clothes/sleeping bags replaced. It is also a chance for you to share in the experience, help serve the needs of the homeless in our community, and more importantly, invest in lives and build relationships with the people you meet.
We meet every Thursday night at 7:00pm at Liberation Street Church.
