One of the sweet joys of starting a non-profit is gathering ideas from and partnering with others who share a similar vision. A common focus we’ve noted is the variety of organizations whose goal is to offer a path to those without hope—bringing them to hope. Once someone can grasp the depth of love and accept the hope offered, it is life changing.
Our desire at OEB is to be the essential bridge in our women’s journey, and be their next step into individual sustainability.
There are countless women in the Portland, Oregon USA area that need hope. One way we together with you can bring them hope is through the Union Gospel Mission. UGM has for years been offering those on our Portland streets comfort, compassion, and an open door.
On September 26th, 2015, the team of Omega Espresso Bar will be working alongside others at UGM’s Operation Overcoat. We will be serving coffee to the homeless.
Union Gospel Mission provided over 6,000 articles of clothing and 1,300 meals to those in need at last year’s event.
Interested? Please join us as we seek to bring comfort and hope to those in need. Contact Bernadette Gonzales of Union Gospel Mission by email at bernadetteg@ugmportland.org or by phone at +1 (503) 274-4483.
Pictured from left to right: Gail Obra, Thomas White, Laurel Emory, and Kristin Moreno of Building Champions, as they process books and discs at The Media Foundation, raising capital for Omega Espresso Bar.
They began by sorting through and cataloguing piles of media items. They carefully inspected and cleaned discs to ensure proper playback. Then they scanned each item’s UPC symbol to research online and determine fair resale pricing. Finally they helped process sales of these many media items and assisted in getting them shipped off to eager buyers and collectors.
We are grateful to Gail, Thomas, Laurel, Kristin and many others from Building Champions who unselfishly give of their talents and time to help bring the vision of Omega Espresso Bar into reality.
