“The place itself is beautiful, full of natural light and SO many racks of dresses. We scheduled an appointment online, and as soon as we got there, we were ushered to the back area with separate areas for the brides trying on dresses. They even have a front area with a pedestal and even more natural light. The staff were amazing and helped us with everything. They even gave us a little bit of time since it was a slow day. Their dresses turn over in two weeks, so we ended up going back a second time. These dresses are deeply discounted and completely beautiful.”

“This place is amazing! Ended up buying a frame on a “sale” weekend. Thing is they work with you and they enjoy it as long as they’re open! Anything that gets more people on more bikes is a good thing. If you are thinking about checking it out I can say it’s now one of my favorites in Portland.”

“I had such a great experience at Adorned in Grace shopping for my wedding dress. The volunteers were so helpful and kind, helping me talk through fit and how alterations would work and just what suited my body and the vibe I was going for. I am a popular size but was still able to try on a good variety of options within my budget, which they were very respectful to stay under when helping me pick out dresses to try. Highly recommend!”

“Loved this experience! I had very little knowledge of the Chinese history in Oregon (and the larger Pacific NW region) so this is very educational and informative. Really loved the Bue Kee exhibit as well. $8 entry fee, self-guided and a general overview from the attendant (who was really sweet and gave me food recommendations!). Overall, great experience and would highly recommend especially during AAPI Heritage Month.”

“Very appreciative of Birch Community Services helping my family stay fed all those years while I was growing up! It was hard work. You have to put in a lot of hours to stay fed here, and often the food is on its way toward being expired, but there is a lot of good food here, as well. Better that it goes to those in need rather than going to waste!”

“Other than the pick up/drop off traps and your fur friend(s) times leaving you in the middle of rush hour traffic I don't have much to complain about. The people here are providing a great service. They care about the animals safety & health not to mention the communities they live in. I totally recommend the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon in SW Portland”

“Just a good place helping us who are down and out. I've been very sick and lost way too much weight (about 100 lbs). All my clothes were falling off of me. SnowCap hooked me up 3 times now and I've gotten some new and close to new clothes that fit me perfectly. So I am one Super Skinny Grateful Woman now and owe it to these wonderful people. They are also going to hook me up with good food which you can choose from what they have available. I'm Disabled with a very Low Income (only $32 in SNAP Benefits) and with the prices these days I struggle to buy enough food so part of my weight loss is due to this. I really appreciate the help from this Organization and I Support their Cause. We all have to help one another to get by in this over priced world these days. THANK YOU SNOWCAP!! YOU ALL ARE AWESOME PEOPLE DOING AWESOME WORK FOR US WHO ARE STRUGGLING IN THIS CITY♥”

“Are you kidding me? The kindest employees who clearly have there heart in the game. I don't recommend coming at closing time because there is too much really cool stuff to look at but that is exactly what we did. We were still treated with the upmost patience and kindness which meant a lot to my new little Cub Scout. They even sowed some patches on the shirt for us. Thank you so much CPC BSA !!”

“I love this place. Libraries are great places in general. What I appreciate about this particular branch is the small town feel you get from interacting with the staff. Yes, I can self checkout but sometimes I want to say, “Hello,” to a familiar face. Some of the staff have known my adult kids since they were little (coming in for story time) and they still inquire about them.The quality of being known and treated like a neighbor and friend is a gift and much appreciated.”

“I love working for this company in their Kids program. We support I/DD adults and kids and this is the first place I've worked in the non-sectarian non-profit arena that continually shows their employees how much they value them and the work they do. They pay decent wages, offer great benefits, and do all they can to accommodate your scheduling needs. I have 42 yrs in the workforce across multiple fields and 37 of them in caregiving and SPED teaching. THE Program is beyond what I expected.”

“Over the years project lemonade has gotten more sizes and clothing options and also moved to a larger slot at the mall. They also updated the frequency of shopping to 3 times a year! It used to be just once. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to come back. Everyone there is always super great!”

“Behold, one of the great places responsible for my healthy weight, something I've gotten to enjoy for the first time in my life. All my life, I have struggled with being underweight, to varying degrees, and after a while, began to think that was simply how I was. After arriving in Portland, in just a month, I gained 7 pounds, and that's something I've struggled with even while trying weight training, protein drinks, and over indulging in calories.The healthy food here makes a difference. A salad, fruit, and a meal changed my life, one meal at a time. The love can be felt in abundance, and the people volunteering to serve these meals are some of the kindest heroes. It's amazing to see this, and I wish this level of heroic strength, open-mindedness, and generosity was across this nation.Even beyond the food, these volunteers sometimes provide care packages that handle much needed essentials, from wound care to hygiene, and the ever elusive gloves. I hope that it is known that the kind messages and sweet stickers put on these care packages are uplifting and supportive, offering optimism and hope through difficult times and moods. Thank you all!”

“"Portland Center Stage is an exceptional venue that hosts a range of captivating plays. Its offerings tend to lean towards the sophisticated & snoopy, which, while impressive, might not resonate with everyone. It would be fantastic to see them introduce plays that are a bit more accessible to the general public. Making the themes and narratives easier to grasp could help attract a broader audience, ensuring more people can enjoy the magic of live theater. Regardless, it remains a top spot for those who appreciate high-quality productions.”

“I work as a case manager and this place is an exceptional community resource. They take donations of furniture and household items that serve those in need. The staff seem to enjoy working there and they have committed volunteers. I enjoyed going through and helping one of our programs participants pick out what she needed for her home. She got most of the major furniture she needed, except for matresses, which they were low on. Thanks Community Warehouse!”

“Introduced me to the mountaineering and hiking community in Portland. They run almost entirely on volunteers - to me, that is a sign of the amount of passion and devotion many members of the Mazamas hold for the organization.”

“About a week ago, I helped a neighbor take in a really nice table and chair set, to the **new Gresham** location and it couldn't' gone any smoother. It was actually quite enjoyable! We were greeted and assisted by a wonderful staff member whose initials are AJ (indicated on the receipt). He complimented the set and got right to work helping us onload it. He completely answered our questions about the new location and other items that they are looking for, to help people who are rebuilding their homes and their lives. He was truly passionate about his role, and it showed. As a Portland native, I have donated several items over the years to Goodwill, ARC, Habitat for Humanity, and to Our House/the Cascade Aids Project. There have been a few hiccups with the first three, declining items once I arrived; ARC telling me their website was wrong and they really don't accept camping gear, Habitat for Humanity declining an armoire because one of the doors needed work on a hinge, Goodwill declining a perfectly good futon because the painted frame made a faint gray stripe. I'm actually looking forward to going back with more items. Please check them out!”
