As the weather gets cooler, we pull out our jackets, scarves, gloves, and coats to bundle up. You might just find yourself with that old pea coat that you bought a few years ago or that scarf your mother-in-law gave you that's been gathering dust in your closet.
There are people in your community who can find value in your old gear! You can help give them a chance to stay warm this winter.
Rose Haven is the only day shelter in all of Portland serving 3,600 women, children and gender diverse folks experiencing homelessness, poverty and trauma each year. They are a low barrier shelter, with no federal funding, that provides food, supplies, showers, restrooms as well as classes and activities.
Along with these services, they have an advocacy program with licensed social workers and serve as a safe mailing address for their guests. With an intersectional lens, they offer resources, community, and compassionate understanding to all who come to their haven.
