As the holidays come up we look towards our community partners and supporters to help those that would otherwise not be able to enjoy the holidays. In the month of November we had several 3rd party events where donations to Esther’s Pantry and Tod’s Corner were collected with the barrels that we have. Two of our local establishments, Embers and Crush Bar, collected over $325 and 400+ lbs. of non-perishable food and personal care items. On top of this we received over $700 from The Imperial Sovereign Rose Court of Oregon, which was used to buy over 30 meals for our NHCP clients.
Several of our NHCP clients enjoyed the holiday here at Our House where a traditional Thanksgiving dinner filled with turkey, green beans, stuffing and pie were served. The dinner was prepared by a local Portland chef who was assisted by our very own Development & Volunteer Coordinator and her family. The meal was served by one of our NHCP RN’s and her daughter who took individual orders from each resident or NHCP client. No one left the table hungry for sure!
