Thank You for Joining Us! Immigrant Welcome Center Update

We’re so grateful to everyone who came out to our Open House on Saturday!
Together (juntxs), we are creating a space where newly arrived individuals and families are met with dignity, support, and community as they begin their journey in Oregon.

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing partner organizations who showed up in solidarity, including:
Adelante Mujeres, Afghan Support Network, Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon, American Friends Service Committee, Arcoiris Latinx, and many more. Your presence made the day even more meaningful.
