REGION
DISASTER
Queer Enough (part of Oregon Synod, ELCA)
Request: $30,000
We are currently using a microgrant of $5000 to help distribute materials for ~150 folks to assemble emergency bags (including first aid, cold weather protection, household plans, water and sanitation safety, and other survival gear), receive cold weather first aid training, and participate in a supply swap to continue redistributing supplies to make sure more of our community has access to what is needed to survive or be prepared in case of a disaster.
Silver Falls School District
Request: $3,000
Our district is working on having stellar reunification processes in place in the event of a catastrophe. We are seeking funding for reunification kits that can be placed at the Oregon Garden and Silver Creek Fellowship so that we are prepared to process students and families in an emergency.
The Portland Free Store Project
Request: $6,600
We are a nonprofit free thrift store in Portland, Oregon. We started in 2024, and in 2026 secured a permanent location. We need funding for rent for six months with the cost of all our bills being around $1100 a month. We are 100% volunteer-run at this point and don’t have much overhead. There is a big need in the community for free resources. Our store is open for anyone that seeks resources after disasters. We continually have people coming in that are leaving domestic violence situations, houselessness, that need food, basic resources, etc.
