OUR
MISSION: “To enable more Pacific NW residents to successfully age in place by
developing and nurturing a network of
sustainable, community-based Villages throughout the region.”
Villages NW is a new nonprofit organization in development
in Portland, Oregon. Their mission and purpose can only be fulfilled if people
like YOU step up to help.
Villages NW is not a place, but rather a plan to assist seniors successfully
and healthily age in their own homes instead of having to move into assistant
living. Volunteers are the backbone of this operation.
“Volunteers provide most of the services, resources, and
community activities that will allow Villages to offer a safety net and the
peace of mind that make a positive difference in the lives of members.” –
