Lend a Hand at the Jean's Place Luncheon Fundraiser (age 16+) Referral
Come lend a hand at the annual Jean’s Place Luncheon!
A 55-bed program for women. Jean's Place was the first program of its kind for women in Portland. It features an education and employment center, mental health counseling, case management, and life skills. The program includes the opportunity to lease a room at Jean's Place while rebuilding rental histories. Stays are up to eleven months.
The Jean's Place Luncheon is an opportunity for the community to show their support of this innovative program for women. Jean's Place, now in its 12th year of operation, has been home to thousands of women working to rebuild their lives and move out of homelessness. In 2008, Jean's Place served 282 women.
This year's keynote speaker is Chief Rosie Sizer, of the Portland Police Bureau. Chief Sizer is a long-time advocate for homeless issues, having served on the City of Portland's Commission on Homelessness, and worked on establishing relationships between the Police Bureau and community organizations.
