Review for Operation Nightwatch Portland, Portland, OR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Operation Nightwatch is an amazing ministry, and unusual in its vision to provide hospitality to those without means, instead of handing them provisions and sending them away. The fact that they have been able to stay afloat in this economy is a blessing, and especially as they lost their building recently. I have loved dreaming about how God will provide them a way to bring value and community to those on the streets, and the vision of the people in charge is really inspiring. I have contributed to their ministry and plan to continue.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Being able to serve people in need, and seeing the love of those who are on a more consistent basis building relationships with them. It's very inspiring to receive letters from them also.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

I would like to see them receive more funding in order to have the facilities to do their work, so that their focus could be on helping people instead of where they will anchor their work. I can see that not having stable facilities could hinder both their ability to organize themselves, but also their ability to be found by a transient population.

Role:  Volunteer & I helped cook and serve food.
