Everyone who walks in is known by name.
Help keep the door open. Give by December 31st.
Think about what it feels like to walk into a room where someone knows your name. Where you’re expected. Where your absence would be noticed.
For too many of our neighbors in downtown Portland, that feeling is out of reach. Not because of personal failure, but because no existing system was built to provide it.
Since 1991, Maybelle Center has been building what’s missing: assisted living, affordable housing, and neighborhood programs where people are known, valued, and genuinely welcomed. Our Neighborhood Programs receive no state funding. Your gift is what keeps the doors open.
If you guys weren't here, I don't know where I'd be.”
