SOUTH WATERFRONT
PORTLAND OREGON

Last year, it was decided that we needed to reach out as a community to an agency in the southwest whose programs serve all age groups and meet multiple needs of people in the community. Neighborhood House was selected. It was a low key campaign because we were new and had very little lead time.Now, for the second year, the 20/20 Health, Wellness and Social Spaces Committee is spearheading a major fund raising drive for this agency. Umpqua Bank, Bella Expresso, and Urbana Market and each building lobby have collection boxes and Bee Cleaners has offered to clean good clothing donated to the drive. In fact, this offer inspired Neighborhood House to start a clothing program for their clients in addition to the existing food distribution program. Neighborhood House is the only comprehensive social service agency serving Southwest Portland. It helps more than 6,000 low-income and other vulnerable children, families and seniors each year through innovative and life-changing programs. Flyers explaining their programs and envelopes to mail or drop donations in the box are available at all the locations listed above. You can also donate on line at www.nhweb.org. Our goal is to raise $10,000 and we invite you to join us in this effort.
