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.

What Anawim Means To Me

Response to a survey about Anawim:

What has Anawim Community meant to you?


Anawim Ministry has been an important part of my recovery.  
I was given shelter when I had nowhere to go.
Food when I was hungry.
Clothes to wear because I couldn't afford laundry money or I when I went to jail and came out to nothing. 
A shout out to the people who donate gloves, knit hats, and cook food. 
Diane for having the patience to listen. 
The Kimes for opening your home to people in need. 
Linda and Jimmy for everything you do for Anawim.
Mike for doing the dishes and never complaining. 
Fellowship with like minded people.

Pam helps out Anawim with cleaning our church a couple times a week.
