This video and audio podcast brings us back to the early days of our nonprofit—gathering around a bucket fire to share stories of life, personal growth, hope, and perseverance. We are a nonprofit organization rooted in East Portland, working alongside marginalized neighbors to empower individuals and strengthen communities. Through an inclusive range of services and supports, we envision communities that are safe, supportive, and full of opportunity. We build community from the inside out—through workforce development, housing & homemaking, and supportive sheltering.
