PORTLAND, OR – November 11, 2021 – Following a successful second season, The Marti’s Music Kitchen Podcast announces the November 21st release date and Digital Release Party for the Marti’s Music Kitchen, Season 1 Cookbook and will donate 10% of book sale proceeds to Birch Community Services, providing food and resources to those in need.

“I’ve always dreamed of helping others in a big way, and using my new cookbook and podcast platform to support a food-related charity is the perfect combination. I’m so delighted to be partnering with Birch Community Services, which provides food resources in our community along with other critical services,” says Portland’s own Jazz Singer Marti Mendenhall. Mendenhall says that Birch Community Services (BCS) is the type of charity she loves to support and encourages others to join in with her as BCS addresses the roots of hunger and economic hardships in Oregon. Ms. Mendenhall announced today that she will donate 10% of all book sales from the November release date through New Year’s Eve.

The Digital Release Party will be a fun, high-energy, celebratory event with interviews and live music, while focusing on distributing support packages that include the physical or interactive-digital version of the cookbook along with free shipping for all party-goers. It’s a timely end-of-the-year giving project, and any donations received beyond the retail book price of $18 will have 100% of that amount donated directly to the charity. Donors will be provided a tax-deductible receipt directly from BCS.
