This week, we celebrated Mindi and all she’s poured into The Portico over the years 💛

While we’ll miss seeing her in the cafe, we’re so excited for her as she begins a new chapter at Hyde Park United Methodist. Help us wish her the very best! ✨

Thank you to our speakers, volunteers, sponsors, and every person who showed up believing that lasting change is possible. Together, we’re turning concern into change.

9 years of conversation, connection, and community change.

What started as a vision to love our city well has grown into a space where people from all walks of life can gather, be known, and make a difference - together.

From shared meals and meaningful conversations to job opportunities, housing support, and creative expression, every part of The Portico exists to impact our city with hope.

To every volunteer, guest, partner, and friend who has been part of the story - thank you. You are the reason this place is what it is.

Here’s to 9 years… and to all that’s still to come. 💛

Fresh, bright, and made for summer ☀️

Introducing our Summer Berry Salad - a perfect mix of sweet + savory with fresh berries, crisp cucumber, candied pecans, and blue cheese, all tossed in a rich brown sugar balsamic dressing.

Light, refreshing, and just the right amount of indulgent. Come try it in the cafe this week 🍓

Cade shared this at Leaders Against Homelessness at - reminding us that real perspective doesn’t come from headlines or assumptions, but from being face to face.

When we take the time to listen, stories replace stereotypes. Names replace labels. And compassion becomes action.

What would change if more of us chose proximity over perception?
