Volunteer Opportunities West Linn, Oregon
Be a part of something that’s rooted, real, and deeply needed.
The Gathering Place is more than just a space—it’s a living ecosystem of care, connection, and mutual support. We're calling in people who want to weave themselves further into the web of our local community.
Whether you have time to share, resources to contribute, or simply a heart for working together—there are many ways to support the work we’re doing to make wellness, nourishment, and connection more accessible to all.
Ways to Get Involved
Over 30 years ago, we began dropping off warm, home-cooked meals for men experiencing homelessness each month. We’re proud to be one of Transition Projects’ longest-standing partners and to receive their appreciation.
Join us in providing personal care items like shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, and wrapped bars of soap to the pantry. These everyday essentials mean so much to families facing difficult choices between basic needs.
Donation drop-offs are welcome Monday through Thursday in the bin located on our front porch. Pickups take place on the last Tuesday of each month.
Brighten the holidays by donating new toys and gifts for children and families at local schools and served by Head Start Clackamas, foster homes, and local schools. Together, we have been bringing joy and dignity to 60-75 children each year during the holiday season.
Volunteer your time with us at an upcoming event hosted by The Gathering Place. Whether a community service gathering, healing arts faire or social gathering, many hands make light work (and happy hearts).
