Immigrant Mutual Aid Coalition
The Immigrant Mutual Aid Coalition (IMAC) is a partnership of members from local immigrant rights and social justice organizations including the Interfaith Movement for Immigrant Justice (IMIrJ), American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), Causa, Never Again Action, PCUN, and others. IMAC formed in response to the September 2020 wildfires to provide a safe and welcoming distribution site in Clackamas County that members of the Latinx and immigrant communities could access. We also support mutual aid efforts in other areas of the state such as Medford, Cottage Grove, and Hillsboro. We provide culturally appropriate food, fresh produce, baby needs, hygiene products, PPE, community resource information, and other needed items. We are all-volunteer and rely on contributions from community members and organizations. At our distribution events (every two to three weeks), we serve between 300 and 400 families in the Portland Metro area

Kasama Farms
During the spring of 2023, Taryn's ESR 171 class partnered with the Filipino Bayanihan Center and Kasama Farms in order to learn more about local food systems and culturally appropriate foods, and to engage in e CBL project where students could have some hands-on contributions to a local food system. This CBL project was threaded through our entire class. It started with a visit from Patricia at the Filipino Bayanihan Center, who talked about the center and how it helps to increase food justice for Filipinos in our community. We then visited a local Filipinx farm, Kasama Farms, where students learned about local farming processes and then got our hands dirty preparing some beds for planting. Lastly, students had a choice assignment to either volunteer with the Filipino Bayanihan Center or at Kasama Farms, or they could write a research paper on an aspect of food systems.
