Anawim Christian Community is a community church made up of the homeless and the mentally ill. Our main goal is to provide for people's needs (including the need to be a disciple of Jesus) where they are at. We don't feel that a person needs to be something different before they get the help they need. Our center is in Gresham OR, which is where we lead and organize day shelters and a worship service. We also have a community house in N. Portland where housing is being provided for a few people and opportunities for community worship. We are connected to ministries in SE Portland and St. Johns, where we distribute food and clothing. And finally, through the internet, we educate people from almost every country in the world about homelessness, mental illness and the Christian response to each.

Did You Know?

* That you can get 40 hand warmers for only 15 dollars at Costco?
A single hand warmer can keep a person warm for a whole night in the bitter cold.

* That a pair of new, dry socks can improve a homeless person’s outlook on life?

* That a bike trailer, capable of carrying 200 lbs, can be built for only $30?

* That approximately 30 people in Anawim are missing all of their id, making it impossible to get jobs,
medical insurance or to even apply for social security?

* That one of the great causes of homelessness and severe mental illness is the lack of a supportive social network?
