During this crisis, we've seen our community come together like never before.  As Portlanders come up with a myriad of creative ways to support our community, we're heading back to basics with a clothing drive.  Though it's not a fancy ask, it is an important one.  When participants join us at our shelters or visit our Resource Center, they're often in need of clean clothes and toiletries.  Our in-person donations of these items have tapered off as folks are less able to leave the house. To ensure that the individuals we serve have the basics to get back on track, we've created an Amazon Wish List with our most needed items.  Please take a few moments to review our list and support our participants by adding an item or two to your cart.

We've been amazed by the outpouring of support from our community. From making hundreds of masks to cooking meals for hundreds, we're in awe of the impact of our volunteers and supporters.  Your contributions - big and small - make a huge difference to those we serve.  This week we're highlighting a donor who has gone above and beyond to support our participants. The Chetana Foundation has ordered pizza for four of our shelters every weekend since the beginning of this crisis.  We're incredibly grateful that they've stepped up to the plate to meet this critical need.
