Volunteers are needed to prepare & serve dinners at the Human Solutions Family Center.

Human Solutions Family Center

The Family Center is a no-turn away emergency family shelter located on 160th and Stark in East County / Gresham. Each night, 200 or more people stay at the shelter, and about half of those guests are under 18.

Human Solutions aims to provide full meals to all of those families staying with us, and we need your help to make it happen! We are seeking volunteers to come to the shelter at 6pm with food for up to 160+ people. Your group of volunteers (4-10 people) can reheat the meal, set it out, serve & pack up leftovers—however, if you would like to drop of your donated food and leave it at that — no problem! We have volunteers waiting in the wings and ready to serve it!

Your work will directly impact the lives of the dozens of families who stay at the Family Center and do not have regular access to food.

From everyone at the Family Center: THANK YOU!!!

How can you get involved today?

  • Organize a team: With your family or neighbors, through your place of worship, work or organization, create a group of people who can be responsible for a day (or more) each month. Please get in touch with the Donations Coordinator, Emilie Friedman, to see what days are available! Emilie’s email is EFriedman@humansolutions.org & cell is: 503. 278. 1637.
  • Cook, pickup or have a meal donated: Your group will provide food for up to 200 people. Cook a big batch of lasagna & salad, raise funds to purchase your meal at a local restaurant, or reach out to folks you know who cater & can donate! Then bring the meal to us around 6pm!
  • Reheat, Serve & Pack Leftovers: Bring a small team of 4-5 to serve food, stay for the meal, and pack up what’s left over. If you can bring serving utensils, paper or plastic silverware, plates or cups, and/or tupperware– all the better! If not, we provide all cutlery and serving utensils & wash up after. Just let us know what you need and how we can support you!
