PDX Saints love

Our team is filled with individuals with lived experience in homelessness, addiction, trauma, and resource scarcity. This fuels a passion and helps us to be compassionate in the way that we bring care to the community. We have focused on development in our team members and providing training in MHFA and an array of other trauma informed approaches. 

Our work force is also part of our mission to restore. We aim to help train and ensure professional and personal development in individuals re-entering employment. Encouraging life long skills that will carry people and their communities for generations. 

The growth and development of people and their communities is our highest focus. 

We began, in early 2017, seeing a food insecurity and quickly realized that the hunger for relational support was just as grand. Inviting friends to the table for food, supplies, and relationship began to open doors for healing. In the journey, we came full circle to realize that there are basic necessities that have to be present for us to begin a path towards wholeness.

 Things like food, shelter, hygiene, safety, and security should be the first human right, and only then can we start again.

Our mission is to work to move love forward in the city of Portland. We are an organization focused on building bridges of compassion in order to cultivate restoration in our neighborhoods. Removing barriers and paving a way for equitable beginnings for everyone who desire. We have found that justice lies within elevating others. 

Bringing resources, support, and basic necessities to underserved communities. Our main focus is on houselessness - which includes - people with disabilities, mental and emotional health barriers, people experiencing substance abuse disorders, communities of color, and immigrant families leaving war torn countries. 

We believe that no one be left out and no one be left behind.
