North Portland Preserve and Serve is a community resource dedicated to fostering sustainability through the focus of home food preservation, waste reduction and reuse.
We loan a variety of food preservation equipment and durable dishes to North Portland community members for a small donation of $5-30.
Items are available on a first come first serve basis via email reservation. Reservations can be made up to 30 days in advance.
Classes in food preservation are offered monthly for $10 per class during the preservation season (June-October).

my mother has a pressure she would like to get rid of and was wondering after we read your story in the paper if you took any donations for your equipment.
thank you,
rebecca
Rebecca, We would be happy to take your donation. Since we do not have our 501c3 approval as of yet we can not receipt you for tax purposes but would be sure your canner was well used!
