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.
We are gathering on Saturday June 21st from 10:00AM-12:00PM for another volunteer orientation! There are lots of ways to get involved and to learn more about WeShine! Refreshments provided and we will take a tour of our new St. Andrew’s Village!

Hey look it’s our buddy Josh Mitchell! @jahshm He is a neighbor in North Portland who has become an amazing volunteer at our St. Andrew’s Village! His connection to WeShine? Just being a good neighbor who loves to help and to cook! Check out this phenomenal lasagna and herbed garlic bread that Josh brought to St. Andrew’s Village’s first official Village Council Community meal! All three of our villages host their community meetings on Thursday nights and we love to provide a home cooked meal! We have a small cadre of volunteers who cook but we are always looking for more! Can you make a mean lasagna? Or pasta salad? MacnCheese? Roast chicken and veggies? Chicken and rice casserole? Let us know! Link in bio for St. Andrew’s meals OR email nancy@weshinepdx.org to learn more!

It’s finally here! At WeShine, Pride is everything . Our staff at WeShine is over 50% 2SLGBTQIA+ and the same is true of our villagers. Now more than ever we must show support for this community! Rainbows are beautiful and Pride Month is a celebration but we have so much more work to do for inclusion and safety for all our siblings 🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🌈.

We are four years old today! We are definitely out of our pull up diapers and putting on our big kid pants. WeShine has been building and operating micro villages to serve some of the most vulnerable people in Portland’s unhoused population for 4 years!! We now have 3 villages in three distinct neighborhoods in Portland! WeShine stands for Welcoming Empowering Safe Habitation Initiative with Neighborhood Engagement! Join us in supporting a solution to unsheltered homelessness in PDX by clicking on our link in bio or visiting our website to learn more!

We have accomplished soooo much in just 4 years. Can you believe we built two more villages in just this last year? We built catios on pods at Parkrose and now we are the first micro village with catios and the first micro village to build a wheelchair lift! We have dramatically increased our community partners, friends, volunteers and supporters!
Stay tuned to tomorrow for our 4th Birthday Bash fundraising idea! 🎉🎂🥳🎈🎊🎈🥳🎂🎉
