Our SE Hospitality Center offers our guests a safe, warm place to go and know they can find a welcoming, respectful environment. Our simple mission is to reach out to them, nurturing relationship. We welcome each person who comes to us, just as they are. Operation Nightwatch is an drop-in center and a place of friendship and community for those living without housing in SE Portland. The Nightwatch SE Hospitality Center is open to guests on Saturdays from 5 pm - 8 pm.
Volunteers play an important role in providing assistance, openness, and social companionship to those who come through our doors each Saturday evening.
Upon your arrival at 4:15 pm we will provide an orientation so you'll know how the evening will proceed. This orientation provides important information about safety, and helping with the set up, so please arrive on time!
Also, please dress warmly and bring layers, as we might have you outside for a small portion of the evening. Volunteers are asked to be present from 4:15- 8:30 pm.
While other agencies main focus is to provide housing, food, and clothing, Operation Nightwatch’s unique vision is to address people's social isolation. We welcome each person who comes to us, just as they are. No one is required to conform to any particular belief or faith practice in order to receive our services.
