If internet connectivity or other technical issues are a barrier to completing the form easily, call Chris at (503)935-5269.

Chapman’s Dining for Dollar$ Friends
Dining for Dollar$ not only raises significant funds for Chapman but also builds community. It gives us a way for Chapman families to connect with each other and with our neighborhood restaurant community. Even though Dining for Dollar$ is on hold for this school year, please take a moment to check out all our Chapman Dining Friends from last school year and consider them for a dining, take out, or gift card giving option. It’s our turn to be their friend this school year. Look forward to Dining for Dollar$ events building community one meal at a time when the time is right.
* Tap & Table, Xica Cantina, and Olympia Provisions are currently only operating from east side locations.
