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.

How can your group be involved?

Help Stop Starvation Sunday:  
East County needs another meal on Sundays, or a place to host a meal.  Covenant Connection is no longer able to serve at Zarephath Kitchen, and they were the only meal on Sundays two times a month.  Covenant Connection is looking for another facility to serve, or if there can be another group that serves at 
Zarephath. 503-888-4453

Grow, Grow, Grow: 
Anawim has begun a community garden in its Gresham location.  If anyone would like to participate in gardening, building a greenhouse,  or general upkeep, please call Pastor Jeff  503-593-5379.

Keep a 25 Year Old Program Afloat: 
Anawim has had to reduce their meals at Sunnyside Methodist on Fridays due to a lack of volunteers.  If your group is willing to volunteer to cook, serve and clean up after a meal (food provided)  in SE Portland,  please let us know. 503-888-4453

Worship and Service Opportunity:  
If your church would like to share your worship and serve a meal to our homeless and mentally ill members, we have opportunities available on Tuesday nights.  503-593-5379
And please remember the needs list!

Transportation Volunteers:  
We need a list of people who would be willing to transport people to and from doctor appointments and social services appointments.
