Hundreds of people in our community lose their lives to homelessness each year.
Helping Hands has created a HOPE Memorial at the Bybee Lakes Hope Center at the Jordan Schnitzer Campus in Portland, OR where friends and family of those who have passed while living unsheltered can memorialize their loved ones. This is not a fundraiser; name plaques are available at our cost, for just $20.
CLICK HERE to memorialize a name on the HOPE Memorial at our next installation.
There is a 32-character limit for each name listed. Nicknames containing profanity or political or gang associations will not be printed.
