Home for the Holidays
As the holiday season approaches, our hearts are filled with gratitude and the spirit of giving. This December, we invite you to join SOAR in making a meaningful impact on the lives of refugee families who have sought refuge in our community. Find out how you can welcome our incoming families, either as an individual effort or through coordinating drives with your faith groups and other community organizations. LEARN MORE.
Make a financial contribution to help SOAR meet the emergency financial needs of our refugee clients with temporary housing, food and support as they learn a new language, develop job skills and search for employment. To give, please fill out the donation form below.
If you or your faith community is interested in sponsoring a refugee family as they establish a new home in Oregon, you can do so with a $6,500 contribution to our Refugee Rapid Response Fund. This would provide 3-4 months of rent, 12 months of groceries and basic household items.
With a gift of $150, you can help a family furnish their ENTIRE home! How is this possible? We schedule appointments at Community Warehouse, where families can select any furniture they need during their appointment. To give, use the form below; include in the comments field, “Community Warehouse Appointment.”
SOAR also welcomes donations of household items, including new linens, household items, new clothing, toiletries and disposable diapers. Individuals and faith communities can also help families rebuild their lives by putting together Refugee Care Collective Restart Kits.
