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.

Winter Needs

Fall has fallen and it is getting colder!  There are a lot of donated items that we need, in order to prepare for the really cold weather!
~Many of our homeless folks have had their sleeping gear stolen or ripped up.  We could use (RIGHT NOW!) a number of sleeping bags,  two to four man tents, and tarps (brown or green, please).
~Socks!  Our sock supply has greatly diminished and socks are on sale in the stores.  It’s a great time to provide Anawim with socks!
~Hand warmers. A single hand warmer can keep a homeless person warm all night, even below freezing!
~Volunteers! If you are in or near Multnomah County,  we need a few more volunteers for our day shelter and many more people to sign up for the Gresham Emergency Weather Shelters.  Contact Steve about the day shelters and go to
