Once again this year has been difficult for so many in our community and we are grateful for the organizations that work tirelessly to support those in need. This week Elliott, Powell, Baden, and Baker, had the privilege of offering our financial support by donating $5,000 each to The Jeremy Wilson Foundation, Stone Soup, and Birch Community Services, three grassroots local nonprofits that are giving hope of a better life to those who might otherwise fall through the cracks.
The Jeremy Wilson Foundation, is a support group for those involved in the music community, providing medical health or related support for local musicians, composers, DJs and support crew in Oregon and Cark County Washington.
Stone Soup PDX Stone Soup PDX is a non-profit foodservice training enterprise based in Portland, OR, providing workforce development & hands-on culinary expertise to people at risk of homelessness.
Birch Community Services addresses the roots of hunger and economic hardship in our community. Their mission is to provide a community where people can be responsible and accountable for meeting their basic needs and to equip them with tools to overcome financial difficulty.
We are grateful for the work these organizations do in offering hope and help to so many in our community.
