THE SALVATION ARMY IS PLEASED TO PARTNER WITH THE CITY OF PORTLAND TO HELP THOSE SEEKING ASYLUM BY PROVIDING OVERNIGHT SHELTER IN OUR FACILITY ON CUMBERLAND AVENUE.

OUR BUILDING IS DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES AS AN OVERFLOW SHELTER IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS ON AN ONGOING BASIS IN ADDITION TO ITS PRESENT ROLE IN HOUSING THE ASYLUM SEEKERS.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE TRANSITION TO MORE PERMANENT HOUSING IS A CHALLENGING ONE AND OUR HOPE IS TO FACILITATE THIS TRANSITION USING ALL OF THE RESOURCES WE HAVE AVAILABLE. OUR SERVICES TO IMMIGRANTS INCLUDE ESL CLASSES, LIFE SKILLS CLASSES, EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE AND COMMUNITY MEALS.

HISTORICALLY, SINCE 1865 THE SALVATION ARMY HAS REACHED OUT TO SOCIETY’S MOST VULUNERABLE. OUR MINISTRY IS MOTIVATED BY THE LOVE OF GOD AND OUR MISSION IS TO PREACH THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST AND TO MEET HUMAN NEEDS IN HIS NAME WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION.

WE SERVE ALL OF THOSE IN NEED REGARDLESS OF RACE, RELIGION, ETHNICITY, GENDER OR GENDER ORIENTATION.
