“The M en’s Residential Cen
ter at Volunteers of America
Oregon is a small community
where Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr.’s dream is being realized in a
big way. For over 20 years, the
residential addiction treatment
program in northeast Portland
has been helping men to rebuild
their lives and instilling in them
the value of giving back to the
wider community.
On Monday, Jan. 17, in honor
of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,
the M en’s Residential Center
will welcome 44 Portland-area
volunteers to experience this
community by working side-by-
side with staff and clients to
wards a common goal: repaint
ing 11 client rooms in one day.
The highlight of the event is a
shared meal and reflection on
the values that made Dr. King so
influential, and how we can all
nurture our own communities.
“For so many years, the men
we serve have taken from the
community, through crimes to
support their drug habits. They
leave here having made real
change in their lives and with a
new commitment to community,”
says Joe Kleinhenz of the M en’s
Residential Center. “This one
day shared with those who are
changing their lives might just
change yours.”
This project is a collaboration
between the center, Americorps
VISTA, and Hands On Port
