Provide beds for 300 kids sleeping on the floor

By providing essential and critical household items like a bed to sleep on and pots to cook with, Community Warehouse is able to help families access the tools they need for self-sustainability and ease unnecessary burdens that prohibit their future success.

The Portland Metro’s housing crisis has hit a critical level. With local counties and cities devoting resources to addressing this problem, Community Warehouse is proving to be an important part of the solution to housing stability.

With the increased push to house those in need, the need for our services has only grown. Last year alone, we increased the number of people served by 64%, totaling 5,417 individuals (2,189 of them children).

The importance of providing furniture with housing is being recognized by more people. Clients themselves are choosing to remain in shelter housing to await an appointment with Community Warehouse rather than move into an empty space.

Our client John had this to say when he came to visit our Warehouse:

"It's been a rough year, so I'm very grateful for this. The donors giving their furniture, all of you here, everyone's been so gracious to allow me to generate some hope and determination for next year being a better year and finding a little more inner peace and inner joy"

With support like yours, we plan to increase the number of clients we serve from 55 a week to 75 a week. This will mean more families will have a place to eat, play, work and connect. With your help, we can provide happiness, housing security, well-being, and improved quality of life for neighbors in need.

 Thank you so much for your support!

Every week Community Warehouse provides furniture and household items to 55 families looking to make a new start thanks to the support of donors like you.

When you give to Community Warehouse, you increase a family's ability to stay housed by 40%. 

Lasting change starts with you.

"You see the impact of your donation in the smiling faces of mother and children and people coming in here and picking out their couch, their pillow, their bed - the impact is just seen on their face." - Community Warehouse Donor

Dan, a case manager at one of our partner agency says, "People always are so happy and grateful, you know. Always. My clients get to come here and choose stuff that's in decent shape and take it home. It's giving them a new life and they're giving it a new life. A second chance."
