Our Community's Successful Gala

Our community came together to raise more than $300,000 in support of NAYA's critical community services on Friday.The event was sold-out, with more than 500 guests who enjoyed beautiful silent and live auctions, NAYA Youth Dancers and drummers and a lovely Native- inspired meal.

A NAYA employee shared her moving full-circle journey with all of us, reminding us of the invaluable role NAYA plays for so many community members. A former veteran, she  left her abusive husband, and she and her two children became homeless subsequently. She arrived in Portland and sought help through NAYA's veteran housing services and was placed in a new home soon after. Not only did NAYA help her to find shelter for her family, but now she is employed with us, offering similar services to others. 

If you missed your chance to contribute to our organization, you can still support by giving now.
