So you want to help spoil downtown workers? We love to hear it!
Downtown Worker Appreciation Day is our way of saying THANK YOU to Portland’s diverse & dynamic workforce. It has for more than 20 years showered thousands of downtown employees with fun, quirky, & tasty gifts, really spoiling the folks who keep Portland going throughout the year — especially during the dark days of winter, Portland’s chaotic summertime tourism season, and, yes, even a global pandemic!
This year’s Downtown Worker Appreciation Day event is about more than just showering our workforce with goodies; we’ll also highlight the many ways to get around downtown Portland with a ‘Drive Less, Do More’ Transportation Fair. Less driving means more money saved on gas, more time enjoying the great outdoors, and more time connecting with your community.
There are so many ways — big & small — for a business to participate.
