Join us for our many events at the Milwaukie Center! The Friends of the Milwaukie Center is a nonprofit organization whose sole purpose is to support the programs and services of the Milwaukie Center. We do this through a variety of fundraising activities and you can help by getting involved in any of these activities:
Bingo Bring your friends for an evening of fun, refreshments and cash prizes! Every Thursday evening at 6:30 pm. Gift Shop Handcrafted items for sale at reasonable prices! The Gift Shop has hundreds of consignees who offer their treasures for sale. All profits benefit the programs and services at the Center.
Newspaper Drop A large container is in the south parking lot for the collection of newspapers for recycling.
Annual Campaign Every year people in the community generously support the Friends of the Milwaukie Center with their donations. From $5.00 to $2,500.00, contributors know they are providing much needed support for the Milwaukie Center and its valuable services.
Special Events In addition to our famous Italian Dinner in January, a nearly three decade long tradition Quilt Show and Fabric Sale in the spring, Housing and Senior Services Fair in the fall, the Friends partners with North Clackamas Parks and Recreation to hold Clackamas On Tap & Uncorked at the end of summer. This event has grown to be our largest fundraiser and features local breweries, wineries, distilleries, fabulous food carts and artisan vendors in the surroundings of the beautiful Sarah Hite Memorial Rose Garden.
