Who We Are & What We Do
May 1, 2019
Dear Portland Resident,
Portland Community Fund, with your generosity, accomplished the following:
Helped over 110 families through our Christmas Giving program. Each family received a Christmas dinner, children's gifts, and
shoe-boxes filled with goodies created by Portland Public school students.
Provided coats, scarves, mittens, and clothes to over 150 people. Every October our community members "Stuff the Bus", this year Bill's Party Store hosted us. Every year at the end of October, we give those coats away so families in need can get through the winter.
Awarded over $15,000.00 in grants to organizations that serve our community and emergency funds to help our neighbors get back on their feet after fire, and recently over $51,000 to aid those affected in the 2019 ice jam flood disaster. This account was used to fund almost 100% of those impacted by the tornado back in June 2015 as well.
And because we are a completely volunteer organization, you can be rest assured that 100% of your donation goes to your community!
Sincerely,
Evelyn Walkington-Jensen, President
Portland Community Fund Association
