Join us on June 25th from 6–10 p.m. at Foxtrot (3244 SE Belmont St.) for Wild Heart II, the second annual fundraiser and 5-year anniversary celebration for Sunnyside Shower Project, a volunteer-powered mutual aid organization serving unhoused and unstably housed neighbors in Southeast Portland.
For the past five years, SSP has provided free showers, hygiene supplies, clothing, laundry support, survival gear, snacks, and community care rooted in dignity and harm reduction. In 2025 alone, SSP provided more than 1,250 showers and supported nearly 2,000 visits, all powered by one staff member and over 80 volunteers.
Wild Heart II is a community celebration to keep this vital program running. Expect music from Portland rock-and-roll DJ Wax Casket, food, drinks, raffle prizes, silent auction items, and a whole lot of people who believe in this community and the power of collective action.
Raffle and auction items include stays at Jupiter NEXT and Adrift Hotel, tickets to see Sleater-Kinney and Liz Phair, a haircut by GoodbyeHorseGirl, Freeland Spirits distillery tours and tastings, Skyhook Bouldering passes, gift cards to Bangkok Belly and Bread and Ink Cafe, and prizes from the North American Bigfoot Center alongside donations from some of Portland’s most beloved community spaces and creators.
$10 suggested donation. No one turned away for lack of funds. Visit sunnysideshowerproject.org/wildheart2 for more info.
