The HopeBuilder Lunch is Habitat for Humanity Portland Region’s signature benefit. The 2025 event featured keynote speaker Natosha Reid Rice, a transformational leader, attorney, global equity and inclusion strategist, and minister. Guests enjoyed a complimentary lunch, heard inspiring stories from a homeowner, and learned about Habitat’s work to help build a Portland region where everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home.

We’re proud to share that in 2025, we hit our $500,000 HopeBuilder fundraising goal! Thank you to all who attended, donated to, and sponsored this event.

We look forward to seeing you at the 2026 HopeBuilder Lunch in April.
Speaker lineup coming soon!
