Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Human Services
Our human service programs assist unaccompanied houseless youth, individuals living with HIV/AIDS, and the food insecure.
HIV SERVICES
The Day Center is a drop-in center for those living with HIV/AIDS; the Daily Bread Express provides in-home meal delivery.
NORTHEAST EMERGENCY FOOD PROGRAM (NEFP)
Meets the urgent food needs of our Portland metro area neighbors, serving over 1 million individuals since the COVID pandemic began.
SECOND HOME

Refugee and Immigration Services
Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon serves the needs of the growing refugee and immigrant populations in the Portland metro area.
SLAVIC OREGON SOCIAL SERVICES

SPONSORS ORGANIZED TO ASSIST REFUGEES (SOAR)
Supports all aspects of the refugee resettlement process: housing, food, language and employment.
SOAR IMMIGRATION LEGAL SERVICES
Provides culturally competent legal representation and education to low-income refugees and immigrants.
Creation Justice
Our Creation Justice program activates congregations seeking to improve their environmental practices, and conducts environmental advocacy and education. Our current projects include Oregon Interfaith Power & Light. Our mission is to love God’s Creation through education, relationships and advocacy.
Public Policy Advocacy
Our Public Policy Advocacy brings the faith community’s voice to the policy-making process at the Oregon Legislature and advocates in communities statewide.
The voice of the faith community is crucial to the public discourse on issues facing our society, and public policy advocacy is an effective and vital method for people of faith to express their beliefs. Without our voices, many decisions would be made without regard to those who are less fortunate, ill, marginalized or disenfranchised. We are committed to bringing the faith community’s voice to the policy-making process at the Oregon Legislature, as well as advocating in communities statewide, to create systems, institutions and public policies that ensure a life of possibility for all Oregonians.
Education and Dialogue
We offer workshops, discussions, lectures, presentations, celebrations and vigils to celebrate Christian unity, foster interfaith relations, and explore ethical and moral issues. Our annual Collins Summit has drawn speakers such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Fr. Richard Rohr.
