WDS Charity Brew

Posted on August 19, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Last month, a group of WDS attendees got together for the First Annual WDS Charity Brew event at Portland U-Brew and learned about one of Oregon’s greatest exports:

BEER!

Over the course of a few hours, these WDS-ers learned how to brew kolsch, chocolate porter and amber ale. Ā While the kolsch was for the brewery. Ā The other two beers will be used for the annual fundraiser for Bridgetown Inc. a non-profit that loves people because people matter. Ā They develop and sustain relational environments that create movement within groups and individuals to demonstrate love and generosity lived out in the world. Ā They provide relief, mobilization and transformation in the city of Portland.

This WDS brew class was put on by Dave Ursillo, who is a lifelong writerĀ and eight-time published author. Ā He helps creative self-starters ā€œlive their leadershipā€ everyday through emotional storytelling, artistry, and theĀ entrepreneurial spirit. Ā His latest project,Ā The Literati Writers, is an online writing community dedicated to helping writers ā€œlive and loveā€ their creative journeys, every step of the way.

The First Annual WDS Charity Brew event raised $1,000 towards a mobile medical clinic for NightStrike. Ā One of the relational environments Bridgetown Inc. facilitates for members ofĀ Portland’s homeless community to hang out, enjoy a hot meal,Ā receive a free haircut, shave, have their feet washed and have their old shoes/clothes/sleepingĀ bags replaced. It is also a chance for volunteers to come down and share in the experience, help serveĀ the needs of the homeless in our community, and more importantly, invest in lives and buildĀ relationships with the people they meet.

We are still looking to fundraiseĀ $684.18 to make dental services available at NightStrike!

About BiteSize

Hi! I’m Jenna, but I got the nickname BiteSize in high school. I love homebrewing beer, thus BiteSize Brews. A blog focused on homebrewing, local brewery reviews and recipes. I’m lucky enough to live in the microbrewery capital of the world. I’m also a big fan of social media (chances are I’ll sprinkle a bit of it into this blog).
