AT & T Workers Descend On Northeast Charity Gift Store Opens For Kids
Volunteers and buckets o f
paint, hammers, nails and shovels
went to work last week in a fragile
pocket of Portland, the Northeast
Roselawn area.
More than 150 volunteers from
AT & T Wireless Services joined
the Albina Ministerial Alliance, the
Franciscan Enterprise ofOregon and
the Northeast Community Devel­
opment organization in the “com­
munity service week" effort
The volunteers focused on
the painting and the rehabilita­
tion o f homeless shelters for sev-
(O
•
eral fam ilies. Landscaping and
minor repairs were made for eld­
erly and low-incom e residents.
A I & I W ireless Services sup­
plied the m aterials.
“This is exactly what has been
needed on Roselawn,” said Cornetta
Smith, executive director o f the Al­
bina Ministerial Alliance. “We be­
gan sheltering homeless families here
in 1987. We thought, ’Ifwe run who’s
going to take a stand?”’
Smith said the Ministerial Alli­
ance is currently working to create
affordable housing, but faces an in­
creasing homeless population due
to low-income families displaced
by rising rents.
“This project will have a long­
term effect on the morale and well
being o f this neighborhood,” Smith
said.
The three non-profit groups pro
vide continuous help to low-income
families in north and northeast Port­
land Hut each organization is faced
with the challenge of preserving and
creating affordable housing in an
environment of rapidly escalating
housing costs.

Seventy area children’s chari­
ties have joined hands to open Our
Children’s Store for the third annual
season.
The outlet started business last
week at a new location on the third
floor of the Galleria on Southwest
IOth and Morrison. It will remain
open until Jan. 15.
Our Children’s Store is not a
store with kids’ stuff only; it’s a
holiday gift store for everyone. All
the profits go to help children, thanks
to generous corporate underwriting
from AT & T Wireless Services,
Nike, Gerber Advertising and many
others. The Galleria has donated the
retail space.
In its first two seasons, the store
raised more than $350,000 to help
local kids in crisis.
This year, the store is selling
