What will the event, We ARE Impact, be like?

We ARE Impact is an evening of celebration and community. The night begins with a 90-minute reception where guests can connect with fellow community members who share a commitment to preventing homelessness. 

At 7PM, guests will enjoy a three-course dinner, storytelling with the Impact NW community, and a powerful keynote address from nationally recognized poverty expert Dr. Donna M. Beegle. Together, we will reflect on 60 years of keeping Portland-area families housed and connected to opportunity.
