While Oregon is slowly opening up during the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19, we are often thinking about how to keep ourselves safe as well as family and friends. But what about our houseless neighbors? In Portland, the houseless community is being hit hard with the shutdown of many areas that they use from showers to get access to a meal. With the lack of PPE such as masks and hand sanitizer, our most vulnerable communities are at risk of major outbreaks in these communities that are often made up of immunocompromised people.
We must see that in during a time of a pandemic that we and the ones around us are not the only ones who need help to keep safe. With unreliable areas of shelter and hygiene supplies our community of houseless neighbors needs our help and here are a few organizations that work directly with our houseless neighbors.
It is time to take action! Check out local Portland Organizations who aim to help our houseless friends, you'll be able to help in any way!
