Can you believe it’s been exactly one year since our Avalon Community Welcome day last summer? TODAY we celebrated with another Community Day with villagers, staff, board members, former villagers and beloved volunteers! Avalon you are a shining example of love and community and we are so proud of all you have accomplished!

WeShine is grateful that this day, June 19th, is finally recognized on our national calendar. Juneteenth is a beautiful celebration of liberation and freedom in the United States but it is also an important reminder of the things in this country we are not proud of. American history is complex and when we learn about and recognize ALL of American history we are less like to repeat it.

We are so grateful for @gathermakeshelter and the amazing @choybot for the art classes on Tuesday afternoons with our WeShine Parkrose Villagers. This week they were doing mixed media collage. This is such a peaceful and relaxing time for our villagers to just come and be creative and have access to art materials they would not normally have access to. Our partnership with #gathermakeshelter is a lifeline of goodness and beauty.
