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.

Dumpster Love
God loves dumpsters. Dumpsters seem like such a waste, but in reality a dumpster can feed many people. At Anawim, we invite folks to neatly and carefully select food out of our dumpster for their consumption. We take leftover bread, veggies and other food, put it in the dumpster so it is fit for use. As the leadership of Anawim are all dumpster divers ourselves, we know the benefit of a tidy dumpster.
Community Garden
These mounds of grass clippings, wood chips and sod are the beginnings of our community garden. Now we have tomatoes, peppers, and other veggies planted. Look for more pics to come!
