We are just absolutely blessed to be
part of what Newberg is doing here. Thank
you, Jesus, for allowing me to serve...

Newberg has a growing population of
people that are homeless. The mission
of the Newberg Community Shelter is to
help women and children in our area that
are homeless get off the street and out of
the elements. Volunteer hosts show the
love of Christ to each guest in the shelter.

The Newberg-Dundee Police Department finds
[the shelter] invaluable to our community. So
often, officers come across homeless folks
through the course their duties. It is heartening
to know that there is a viable resource that our officers can refer
women and children to, to obtain a good meal and a good night’s
sleep before having to face yet another day of uncertainty.
