L'Arche Portland

This past Saturday, our community gathered for Hungry for Hope with Sister Simone Campbell, and we are still feeling SO grateful. 💙

Together, we raised $10,571, exceeding our fundraiser goal by 41%, through the incredible generosity of community!

In a time that can feel heavy, we were reminded that hope is something we choose together. Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, sponsored, and supported this gathering. You helped create something truly meaningful.🙌

In solidarity, we will also be donating $237 to the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition to support their important work alongside immigrant and refugee communities.

Last Saturday’s Spring Picnic was a beautiful reminder of what community can be. We lucked out with a sunny day, and together we shared a meal, laughter, and simple moments that made space for connection and belonging.✨

During the picnic, we took time to celebrate the volunteers who have been showing up in our community with such generosity and heart. YOU help make this community what it is.

This is what it looks like when we come together! ❤️

Hope. It’s something we all need right now. 💙

In just ONE MONTH, we’re coming together for Hungry for Hope with Sister Simone Campbell for an afternoon of connection, reflection, and community.

Come be part of something meaningful. Come as you are. ✨

What a night to remember 💃✨

Our Spring Dance was filled with so much joy, laughter, and connection. We were especially grateful to welcome so many new friends who chose to spend their Friday evening with us. There is something so meaningful about a room full of people coming together, just as they are, to share in joy, dance freely, and feel a deep sense of belonging.💙

A heartfelt thank you to Grace Memorial Episcopal Church for so generously hosting us in such a beautiful space, and to Ashley for baking the most delicious cupcakes that made the night even sweeter.🧁

We are already looking forward to the next dance and all the moments of joy it will bring!
