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.

The Wrights Spring Fire is creating an urgent need for coordinated outreach and assistance, particularly for families and individuals who already face barriers to transportation, healthcare, behavioral health services, stable housing, and disaster recovery resources. Tayas Yawks, a culturally responsive community-based organization serving Native American, rural, low-income, justice-impacted, and other historically underserved residents, is prepared to help meet these needs, but additional emergency funding is necessary to expand our response safely and effectively.

This project will support community resilience and cleaner air for thousands of residents and school children in Deschutes County. Funds will provide air filters to two rural schools (both of which are also emergency shelters) in Sunriver and La Pine, creating a healthy indoor environment for students on smoky days and for wildfire evacuees. This grant will also enable OEC to do a statewide survey of schools in wildfire-prone areas to identify their need for similar investments, and we will share that information with state and local decision makers.
