“The best part of my week is Thursday mornings in the Day Center.”  Sunset has made a commitment to serve homeless kids & families in our community. The Family Promise of Beaverton Day Center & staff offices are in our building and offer services and a place to call home during the day, 7 days a week.  This Serve Group will explore how to be engaged serving families through the Day Center year 'round. Come learn and brainstorm ways to engage. Volunteer Training 101 is preferred before attending and a background check will be completed before you begin serving at the Day Center.

Life is better when a house is a home.  The Community Warehouse furniture bank believes that there are enough beds, blankets, pots, pans & furnishings circulating in our community, for everyone. Our group will host a donation drive collecting household goods & furnishings and delivering them to the Community Warehouse for distribution to families setting up new homes. Families who benefit are from our local schools & graduating Family Promise families, among others.

Come learn more about this ministry partner who works with families in our community who are establishing their homes and need household goods and furnishings.  Please note – Saturday, October 6th includes a drop off at Sunset followed by an optional tour of the Community Warehouse in Tualatin. After the tour you’re also invited to join us for a no-host lunch at a restaurant nearby.
