WELCOMING, EMPOWERING, SAFE HABITATION INITIATIVE WITH NEIGHBORHOOD ENGAGEMENT
WeShine designs, builds, and operates neighborhood-based micro villages that provide safe, transitional shelter with wrap-around services for Portland’s underserved, unsheltered adults as they prepare to become successful tenants in permanent, affordable housing.
Resharing this gem of a video by @nicolecmichaelis as we have some volunteer opportunities coming up! This Saturday April 5th we are getting pods furnished and ready for villagers to start moving in! We always feed our volunteers and we have a great time building community! Volunteering makes you feel good! Also on Saturday April 12 we are hosting a WeShine Volunteer Orientation at our wonderful Avalon Village! We will start at 10:00AM with coffee and breakfast treats and learn about various ways to help out at our villages and end with a tour of the village!

We love our north Portland representative @rep.nelsonofficial AND our Executive Director @janettmcmanus and our consultants for PR and Fundraising: @e8daysawek from 360 Philanthropy and Bridget Jackson with @nexuspr_official
At WeShine we strongly believe it takes a village to build a village: strong support from local politicians to our board and from volunteers to staff and fundraising and public relations support! Thanks again to EVERYONE who supports our work and helps us grow!

Here is our wonderful Oregon Governor Tina Kotek @govtinakotek checking out one of our pods at St. Andrew’s Village! Did you know that WeShine will soon be serving 30 unhoused folks at a time? That’s right, 10 in each of our 3 villages! We believe in the micro village model because they fit neatly into cozy neighborhoods that are close to resources. Our pods are cozy too: heaters, storage, air conditioning and more! If you would like to help our mission click the link in bio to donate or check out our website to find out how to volunteer!

We keep going on about the beautiful St. Andrew’s Village but we have not shared these lovely new photos of the “undercroft” at St. Andrew’s! Beautifully remodeled to be the community space for our villagers, with kitchen, shower, bathrooms, meeting room, laundry room, community eating spaces, cozy living room! We could not have done this without our amazing volunteers and the phenomenal @homebuildersfoundation and their partners including the awesome @poicstories and @tivnu !!
