Stories from the Street: NWCC Connects Pearl Neighbors to Shelter and Support

Written By Meadowlark Collective PDX

In the heart of a rainy Portland day, NWCC outreach helps connect Pearl District neighbors to shelter and support.

During a recent NWCC outreach visit, Humanitarian Team member Terrance connected with Tom, a 60-year-old neighbor living in a carefully constructed tent near the freeway. His shelter—secured with a blue tarp and a wheelchair chained outside—was a symbol of both hardship and resilience.

Thanks to Terrance’s support and quick coordination, Tom was able to secure a spot at the Market Street Shelter. He’s now working with NWCC to help the second individual from the camp find shelter as well.

These personal connections—and the care behind them—are what NWCC’s humanitarian work is all about.

Well done, Terrance!
