Tis’ the Holiday Season! While many are surrounded by friends and family, there are thousands of individuals who
are not as fortunate. The homeless community is often left lonely, cold, and sick during these holiday months.
‘Tis also the season of giving, and there are numerous ways you can give! The Portland Street Medicine- a coalition
of medical providers, social workers and community volunteers who have made it their mission to deliver basic
healthcare to the homeless population of Portland, Oregon. “Nationally, Oregon has the fourth highest rate
of homelessness.. and the life expectancy of a homeless person is only 47 years.” A small donation can help reach
and provide basic healthcare needs to those citizens who are often left forgotten.
Here is what your donation can do:
$8: Provides medication organizers for clients of Portland Street Medicine.
$9: Provides tarps for clients of Portland Street Medicine.
$25: Provides over-the-counter supplies, including ibuprofen and first aid kits, for clients of Portland Street Medicine.
