Spring Cleaning Event
Spring is here, and we need your help! We’re collecting cleaning supplies to give to families in shelter so they can keep their spaces clean and comfortable. Your donations make a huge difference in providing these essentials.
Stay and Play Spring Break
For families experiencing homelessness and residing in small shelter rooms, Spring Break can be stressful, as budgets for activities are tight, leaving most unable to do something special for spring break. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of many advocates, last year families in our shelter program enjoyed our stay and play spring break with activities onsite here at Bridge to Home.
This year we are asking for your support to fund educational and exciting experiences that we will bring directly to Bridge to Home. Offering a range of activities at our shelter allows access for all guests and removes the transportation barrier. Planned activities include a pizza party, Kona-shaved ice treats, Therapeutic Alpaca visit, Oregon Reptile Man Presentation, Lego night, and more.
Donate using the donate now button on our website or mail to our shelter - FPTV, Attn: Stay and Play Coordinator, 11460 SW Pacific Hwy Tigard, OR 97223 now through March 24th.
Heart For Kids
Heart for Kids Inspirational Cards: This month is the third consecutive February we are celebrating Heart for Kids Month. It is time to come together as a community to create inspirational heart-shaped messages for children and families in our program. The HEART shaped greeting will be shared in weekly food baskets, used as decorations throughout our building, and passed out during activities all month long including our Valentine’s party. Please join us in sharing words of encouragement by creating and mailing or dropping off your cards to Attn: Gina Olson, Family Promise of Tualatin Valley, 11460 SW Pacific Hwy., Tigard, OR 97223. This is a wonderful group activity for youth groups, women’s groups, social clubs, etc. Please reach out to Gina at Gina@familypromiseoftv.org with any questions.
Valentine’s Party Assistants, Bakers, and Crafters: We are seeking volunteers to contribute to our Valentine’s Party on Friday, February 14th from 4 to 5pm. Whether you are interested in preparing and sharing a craft, providing a snack related project, leading an activity that we are furnishing or donating supplies, we welcome your participation. Please reach out to Gina at Gina@familypromiseoftv.org if you would like to help.
