ARCHES Project

Everyone deserves safe and stable housing. Together, with partners like LifeSource Natural Foods and volunteers, ARCHES is going beyond symptoms alone and addressing the root causes of homelessness.

The ARCHES Project is continuing to provide housing, basic needs, and services to families, individuals, and Veterans in Marion and Polk Counties.

ARCHES can provide food resources, rental and deposit assistance, as well as referrals to other community providers and resources. Please get in contact with us through email at resourceservices@mwvcaa.org or by phone at 503-399-9080extension 4036.

Here are some images of their low boundary shelter, where they allow individuals and families who are respectful to others.

Thanksgiving Dinner for 23 Hungry Families

We’re proud to work with First United Methodist Church in Salem delivering much-needed Thanksgiving meals to hungry families.

Through our Outreach Coordinator, Paige, we donated fresh organic vegetables, potatoes, and spices to 23 families for traditional Mexican Posole and turkey dinners.

Thank you Paige for putting your community first 💪.

About Salem First Methodist Church

Celebrating a diversity of views!
At First United Methodist we have a great diversity of views on social, theological, and political issues and we celebrate this fact. Such diversity draws many to our fellowship and truly makes this church a gracious place. Here is a church where there is room to think and to question, to affirm faith and to listen to others, at times to argue and disagree, but always to appreciate each other, our community, and work together to end hunger and homelessness.
