Review for Operation Nightwatch Portland, Portland, OR, USA
I have volunteered at Operation Nightwatch on and off for about two years. Operation Nightwatch offers something much more than simply food, coffee, socks, blankets, hygiene products, etc; they offer a warm, safe environment where people can meet, talk, play games, and rest. For most people living outside, this chance to feel warm and safe, seen and heard, is incredibly valuable. Operation Nightwatch is an amazing organization, and the friendships I have made there are deep and long-lasting.

Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)
Volunteering at Nightwatch broke through stereotypes and stigmas that I didn't even know I had. It broke through everything I thought I knew about homelessness and showed me the truth. Each individual that I have interacted with at Nightwatch has taught me something, each time I have learned something new. I hope that I have also been able to reach people there as much as they have been able to reach me.
Review for Operation Nightwatch Portland, Portland, OR, USA
I volunteered with Operation Nightwatch for some months while I was attending University in Portland. I became so close with the individuals that we hosted, that I am still in contact with many of them today, even though I am now living in Sweden. The people that I met at Operation Nightwatch have affected my life in many deep and profound ways, and I am eternally grateful and honored to know them. Operation Nightwatch is a wonderful organization that has a beautiful balance of service and friendship.
