North Portland’s Community Newspaper - Bi-Weekly - PO Box 83068, Port. OR 97283 Warming Shelter Moves to University Park United Methodist By Baraba Quinn The Review he winter warming shel- ter for people who are houseless has moved to T University Park United Methodist church at 4775 N. Lombard near Lombard and Fiske in the Ports- mouth neighborhood. The warming shelter will be open from 8pm to 8am anytime temperatures at night reach freezing, 32 degrees. This is the shelter’s third year under the leadership of AllOne Services, a non-profi t organized by an unusual alliance of 20 Christian churches in north Portland called Church of North Portland (churchofnorthport- land.org). “We realized that indi- vidually none of us have resources to meet local needs, but collective- ly, we can,” said Executive Direc- tor, David Brewer. The collaboration has organized a number of important local services including a free medical, dental, vision clinic, a gleaning service at farmer’s markets, and a women’s shelter in St. Johns called Commu- nity of Hope. The warming shelter had been lo- cated at St. Johns Covenant Church on Portland Road until the build- ing was sold. Pastor, Andy Goeb- el and the church’s congregants have joined with Jules together and jointly host the shelter, which is open to all men, women and fam- ilies. Both churches participate in AllOne Services. The two joint churches also hope to provide permanent housing for low- er income residents by using the land near their building for much needed affordable apartments. Developer, Rob Justus, has drawn up plans for 24 to 32 units with washers and dry- ers that would rent for around $400 a month.

From the Editor: It was approximately one year ago that the Review’s email address changed to reviewnews- paper@gmail.com (from reviewnewspaper@comcast.net.) This was done because I’ve had several issues with the comcast address where I was not able to access mail from it. Therefore I’ve removed it from everything I can think of so no one would use it - you know, just in case... Well, it happened again. I can no longer receive email from it. So please, if you have used the comcast email address and your mail has bounced back to you, please change it NOW to: reviewnewspaper@gmail.com. Thank you, Gayla Patton.
