Stories from the Street: A Ride Toward Safety

Written By Meadowlark Collective PDX

With support from NWCC’s Terrance and Radio Cab, Jesse and Caitlin find shelter together.

On a warm Portland day, NWCC’s outreach made a powerful difference for Jesse and Caitlin.

Terrance, of NWCC’s Humanitarian Team, met the couple during a street outreach visit, offering water, clean clothing, and—most importantly—a pathway to shelter. With their trust and willingness to move forward, he was able to connect them with a spot at the Willamette Center, one of the few shelters that offers safe accommodations for couples, including access to an upper bunk bed.

Thanks to our generous partners at Radio Cab, Jesse and Caitlin were transported directly to the shelter with their belongings in tow—no small feat, but a life-changing step toward safety and stability.

Incredible work, Terrance—and thank you, Radio Cab, for showing up for our community.
