$30,000 has been placed on the table.

A generous supporter has offered to match every gift made over the next 30 days, dollar for dollar, up to $30,000.

That means together we can raise $60,000 to support workforce development through the end of the year.

At PDX Saints Love, workforce development is more than employment. It is stability. It is self actualization. It is belonging. It is the opportunity to build new skills, earn income, gain references, and reconnect to a community with purpose. People want to be a part of something, they just need opportunity.

This is a "bouncing" social media fundraiser! Meaning, we win the algorithm with every interaction, allowing 100% participation! Over the next 30 days, we'll be sharing updates right here in the comments so everyone can follow along as we move toward our goal.

If you believe in second chances, meaningful work, and investing in people, would you consider making a gift today?

And if you're not able to give right now, help us reach more people by commenting below, sharing, or giving us a *heart* emoji!

What was the first job that changed your life?

Goal: $30,000 / $60,000
Deadline: July 15th!

Donate here for 100% of your money going straight to this program!

This week one of our friends left his bike in front of the day center while he went to apply for an apartment with our housing specialist and unfortunately it was stolen.

As peers, we can empathize deeply with that feeling of “one step forward, two steps back.” Those hard moments when it feels like you’re trying to do all the right next things, and every barrier possible falls in front of you.

Feeling his defeat, our day center manager remembered we had one donated bike left in the back.

Our heart is to do what it takes. The little push to keep going, the soft landing when folks fall.

If you have old bikes, in good repair and condition, we’d love to take them. This mode of transportation is everything for our friends trying to transition towards housing.

Nicki loves a good question — especially when it's about our amazing partners in the SE 82nd Ave Coalition! 🐌

Sisters of the Road is new to Lents, and we're approaching our move with humility and a lot of listening. That means getting to know the incredible organizations already showing up every day for East Portland: PDX Saints Love, Rahab's Sisters, Clackamas Service Center, Hope and Bread, and East Portland Collective.

In our Spring 2026 issue of Sisters' Voice, we introduce you to the folks we're proud to be building alongside. Read their stories, follow their work, and consider supporting them — because building power for East Portland is a community effort.

Tina graduated our Workforce Development program this week! During her internship, she also completed 80 hours of training to become a Peer Wellness Specialist.

We are so proud of Tina and the incredible hard work she has put in to complete both of these trainings to secure her future!

We will be tossing up a matching campaign Monday to support us in the gap! We will have many months of a funding gap coming up and a donor has stepped in to hype us up to keep going 🎉🥳

We will keep you posted, but until then you can donate at our website at www.pdxsaintslove.org

An Extreme Heat Watch has been issued by the National Weather Service for the Portland metropolitan area, including Multnomah County, from Sunday morning through Monday evening. Dangerously hot conditions are expected, with temperatures potentially reaching between 95 and 100 degrees.

People who are living unhoused and our senior neighbors are very vulnerable in these heat events, and are the very neighbors that PDX Saints Love serves at our Day Center.

We would love help with some of these items to prepare us for the upcoming summer weather and the ability to care for our most vulnerable community members.

You can also become a monthly donor and be a part of supporting this work all summer long: www.pdxsaintslove.org

You can drop off all week, or order directly from our Amazon Wishlist:

Some lease signing days feel like giving birth after months of long labor and barriers to housing.

This day means so many things for our entire community- because Teresa lost her husband to a motorcycle accident while they were living unhoused with their children.

Her children went to stay with family while she grieved and tried to get back up. They have been living apart for a couple of years.

This placement didn’t just house one person, but reunified a family, gave a place for restoration, and changed the trajectory of her future generations.

Teresa signed and got her keys, with her husband in her arms. She has worked incredibly hard to bring her family back together. Back home.

We are thankful for for partnering with us on these housing placements for individuals in shelter.

We are so excited to see Derek graduate the Workforce Development Program. As a participant of overnight only shelter, Derek faced many more barriers to employment- due to instability, but he did it!

Derek has reconnected with his sister who he hasn’t seen in 20 years and is headed to see her next week!

Derek thanked us for showing him that he can do uncomfortable things when he has a community supporting him.

We are grateful to the for supporting this program to ensure that these individuals have the same employment opportunity as everyone else.

We are thankful to have partnered with Transcending Hope to throw a big summer kick off BBQ in Lents Park last night. We served over 450 meals to our neighbors, played music, and shared so many hugs and laughs.

Jacob, who coordinated this event, shared a picture of him before recovery, standing in this very park. So this meant more than just food for him and his team, it meant restoration and reciprocity- giving back what was given.

Jacob would love to keep coordinating these meals monthly, but could use help! You can CashApp him at $Jacob88Smith
