O F I M PAC T
Our House provides healthcare, housing, and other vital services to
low-income people in the Portland metropolitan area living with HIV.
We inspire those living with HIV to live well.
Dinner at My House Dinner Series began in 1993 when a group of Our
House supporters came up with the idea of having dinner at homes in
exchange for donations to Our House. The first Dinner Series consisted
of only seven dinners and we now have approximately 70 dinners per
season. Your support makes a significant impact on the lives of those we
serve. 100% of the proceeds from ticket sales go directly to
meeting low-income Portlander’s needs.

A Message from our Honorary Chair Dear Friends, I am honored to serve as Honorary Chair for the 26th Dinner at My House for Our House and proud to support the annual dinner series year after year, with events ranging from garden parties to lavish soirées. I am deeply committed to supporting Our House’s mission to inspiring people with HIV to live well and invite you to join in the fantastic dinner series events offered in this catalog. As we launch the 26th season, you’ll want to mark your calendars for the signature Chef’s Table dinner events hosted at Loft on 8th Ave featuring five top chefs from around the region. In late September, I’m excited for Japanese Jazz Bar hosted by Ryan and Elena Roadhouse of Nodoguro. And in mid-October, Daniel Shoemaker - genius behind Teardrop and The Commissary - is hosting Stellar Mixology. In December, get your vocals ready for choral karaoke at OK Chorale, a Pop-up Sing-along. And finish up the year with Winter’s Hot Tamales hosted by Robert Lusk and Christopher Bailey. The new year brings Paella & Dice, hosted by Bill Dickey. In March, Portland Center Stage to host, Dinner On Stage with “Tiny Beautiful Things” and the dinner series ends with Modernist Meets Mediterranean, hosted by Karol Niemi and Dennis Batke. My thanks extend to the incredible Our House staff and volunteers who have served with such commitment and tenacity to bring this 26th season to life, to generous hosts who are opening their homes and restaurants, to incredible chefs who are creating remarkable feasts, to supporters who have provided the resources to create these incredible events, and most of all, to you, for buying tickets to be part of this delicious tradition.
