As people in our community and surrounding areas continue to be impacted by the current wildfires, we invite you to join us in praying together for the many people who are being evacuated and facing property loss or damage, and to serve them in tangible ways.
SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY
Hope City has now been designated by Clackamas County as an emergency shelter. See below for how you can help us welcome and serve families seeking shelter at the church.
NEED HELP?
- If your family has been affected - either through evacuation or through actual damage to your property, please let us know what we can do to help! Call us at (503) 342-3542 or email us at info@hopecitypdx.com.
- RVs and trailers are welcome in our parking lot. If you are not staying in the vehicle, please leave your contact information visible in case we need to reach you. Power and water hookups are not available, but restrooms will be during the period that Hope City operates as an emergency shelter.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP:
- Donate money: Help us meet evacuees' needs for housing, food, and more by clicking the Give to Wildfire Relief button below.
- Donate your time: The evacuation center must be staffed 24 hours a day. Let us know on the form below if you are available to help with this effort.
- Share your home: Let us know if you are able to help meet physical needs by offering evacuated families a place to stay, or by offering them a place to keep their animals/boats/RVs, etc., by calling us at (503) 342-3542 or emailing info@hopecitypdx.com.
DONATE NEEDED ITEMS
To support those who have lost homes or are in shelters, we are collecting $25 gift cards to WinCo, Fred Meyer, gas stations, chain restaurants, and food delivery services (GrubHub, etc.). Please drop off gift cards at Hope City Church while people are seeking shelter there. Thank you for supporting those in need!

Your volunteer shift may include help with cleaning and sanitizing, welcoming and checking in guests, being available to help assess and meet practical needs, receiving donations and supplies, etc.
