L'Arche Portland's mission is to make known the gifts of people with intellectual disabilities, revealed through mutually transforming relationships; foster an environment in community that responds to the changing needs of our members, while being faithful to the core values of our founding story; and engage in our diverse cultures, working together toward a more human society. We are a community of people with and without intellectual disabilities sharing life and building relationships together. Our tree lots allow us to raise the funds we need to keep growing and building community. We rely on dedicated volunteers to keep or lots running smoothly and welcoming folks!
