ChurroFest
No Us Without You feeds over 700 undocumented hospitality worker families each week, so they figured, how hard would it be to feed a few hundred bartenders at Portland Cocktail Week? Come have dinner and celebrate the incredible achievements of No Us Without You while eating churros, Sonoran Dogs, and other Mexican delights. As if that wasn't enough, they've also asked a few of their friends from their industry pals to make a few unforgettable cocktails featuring Astral Tequila, Santo, Rémy Martin, Montelobos, and Ritual Zero Proof!
