Celebrating Joey and his beanstalk 🫘 🍃

Thankful for our neighbor Adam, who brought pole beans for us to plant and watch grow this summer! We love that our community around the day center stays engaged and a part of the work we are doing. It takes all of us.

We are grateful that the weather will be coming back down through the next days, and that today’s air feels a little lighter with hopes of healthy air throughout the weekend.

Thank you to all of the amazing community members who continued to drop off water and supplies, order from our wishlist, or send us funds for ice, this week to care for our neighbors.

Our care belongs to each other.

On July 18th we had our annual BBQ in the Yard at our Day Center’s beautiful backyard and shared music, food, activities, and community with over 350 friends!

We were so grateful for the way that the Norman Sylvester Band Norman Sylvester brought that community together through songs and dancing.

Our community partners had booths with activities for everyone! Sisters of the Road and Clackamas Service Center had lots of stickers and button making, as well as beads for bracelets. MMIW brought stuffies and stamp making, Common Cause brought bracelets with the Morse code “Good Trouble,” Hope and Bread made t-shirt that said Power to the People, and East Portland Collective collaborated with Alex Chiu on our new mural, where neighbors got to be a part of!

One of the most beautiful things of the day, besides a five year old celebrating her birthday with us, was that when we looked across the tables and people, no one could tell who lived in a house and who didn’t.

We were all just beloved community for the day.

We are excited to share about our BBQ in the Yard this week, but really wanted to start with a gratitude post about this memorial tree designed by Alex Chiu and supported by Sabina with Sabina Beans

We’ve been dreaming of a memorial tree for a couple of years, a place where no one is forgotten and they are always a thread in the fabric of this beloved community.

The fact that participants got to be a part of painting this tree meant even more for all of us.

Each leaf will hold the picture and name the people we have lost due to symptoms of homelessness.

The mural will expand with floating leaves around the room and colored to encompass each of the seasons, and the love and grief in each of them.
