Community of Hope

Initiated by the Church of North Portland, Community of Hope provides shelter and support for single moms who have no home.  They give a space for overnight and daytime shelter for young moms for up to six months and provide them skills so they can live on their own.  

They build on the strengths families already have while providing housing, classes, resources, and mentoring. This support helps mothers to hold a job, manage finances, steer clear of addictions, develop positive relationships, grow in parenting skills, and make healthy life choices. 

Right now, Community of Hope is in the midst of moving into The Hub, next to Red Sea Church, where they will have a permanent place to serve their moms and kids.  They are looking for people to build beds and a fence, and to provide needed donations.

If you'd like to help, please contact Linda Jo via email:  lindajo@communityofhopepdx.org
