We welcome each person who comes to us, just as they are. No one is required to conform to any particular belief or faith practice in order to receive our services.

There are many agencies in the Portland area that provide services such as housing, food, and clothing to those experiencing houselessness, low-income individuals, or those facing other barriers. Operation Nightwatch’s unique vision is to provide a place for these people to escape social isolation while also providing a cup of coffee, a meal, and much needed supplies and mental health services during a time that other agencies are closed, and hope is especially hard to find.

“To be homeless is to lack roots, ties to place, and a sense of belonging.

Extending hospitality

re-establishes this connection.”

-Gary Davis, Former Executive Director
