We are excited to announce that May’s Group Meeting will be a service project and informational session at PorchLight the men’s shelter in Bellevue!PorchLight (formerly Congregations for the Homeless) opened its permanent home located at 13668 SE Eastgate Way in Bellevue for guests in June, 2023. Each night, hundreds of men experience homelessness on the Eastside. Now that space offers a full continuum of care in one place.
PorchLight provides shelter and services to 1,500 men each year. They are a part of the solution to the homelessness and housing crisis impacting our community. Come learn more about homelessness on the Eastside, tour the facility and break bread with the men we will be serving dinner.
- Where: PorchLight Men's Shelter, 13668 SE Eastgate Way, Bellevue, WA 98005
- When: Tuesday May 14th 4:45pm - 6:30pm
-- 4:45pm Check in and drop food off in kitchen

Whether you are donating food or just want to attend the presentation, please sign up using the PorchLight Men's Shelter Dinner - Attendance and Food Donation Sign Up https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4FADAF2BA5F5C25-49085317-porchlight#/ and use access code ‘porchlight’. We need to know in advance who is coming, since we are entering the PorchLight facility.
We will be purchasing fried chicken from Ezell's for the protein. The rest of the menu will be mac n' cheese (we will provide the recipe and disposable pan for consistency), green salad/veggies, and dessert. We must provide food for 100 men plus any IE Members who want to stay for dinner, so we are requesting each volunteer make a portion big enough to serve 25 people.
If you would rather not provide any food, we would still welcome you to attend and donate to Indivisible Eastside. Or, if you can provide food, but are unable to attend, we can arrange for one of our steering committee members to bring your food.
