LCSNW Portland, Beaverton and Vancouver

Today we’re celebrating love in its most meaningful form—the kind expressed through compassion, support, and connection.

From our vantage point, love looks like:
* Standing with refugees and immigrants as they rebuild stability and belonging
* Supporting survivors of trauma
* Strengthening mental health and family stability
* Creating safety and dignity for people of every background
Across Greater Portland and Vancouver, our staff, volunteers, partners, and our clients show us what love in action truly is.

Thank you for helping build communities where everyone feels safe, supported, and valued. ❤️

Next Wednesday, Feb. 18, we are holding an art-making workshop at our Gresham office. The focus is on clay.

These are fun workshops where we have warm conversation about emotions, ways of handling stress, and enjoy hot tea, all while working with air-dry clay.

This space is safe for immigrants and refugees. Everyone is welcome, including children! Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

12 p.m. on Feb 18 -- Russian interpretation available.
5 p.m. on 18 -- Karen interpretation available.

Our office: 2072 NE Burnside Rd, Gresham, OR 97030, United States

LCSNW has big news -- we've merged with another organization doing great work for social justice. Yay, welcome Compass Housing Alliance colleagues :)

It's official! Compass Housing Alliance and Lutheran Community Services Northwest (LCSNW) complete merger. After years of affiliation and partnership, Compass and LCSNW are joining together as one organization! Our shared values: compassion, love, health, justice, and hope, make this joining together a win-win for the larger community. And we have been consciously moving towards this goal for years.

All of this is possible because of your support and dedication. We are so excited about the future!
