The evening will bring together Transition Projects supporters for our 2022 IMPACT Gala on Saturday, April 2^nd. Going virtual to ensure the health and safety of all – the gala will offer a catered (and delivered) 3-course dinner created by ChefStable Catering along with Oregon wines from Presenting Wine Sponsor Fullerton Wines and Supporting Wine Sponsors Helioterra Wines and Seven Bridges Winery. Plus, an outstanding on-line auction and of course moving and impactful stories as Transition Projects carries out lifesaving and life-changing work across Portland.

The event will also mark the 25^th anniversary of Jean’s Place - the first permanent women’s shelter established in Portland, when there was nowhere else for women experiencing homelessness to turn. To date, more than 7500 women have accessed this important shelter program. As we mark this important milestone, we will share women’s stories of their own journey as they transitioned from homelessness to housing.

Celebrate the IMPACT of support in our community for people experiencing homelessness...as they make their way home.
