"Securing Transformation @the Park "
Church@thePark is securing a place of mutual transformation for unsheltered people and those who serve them; through relationships, agency partnership and tangible resources.
More than 3,000 individuals applied for housing who were experiencing homelessness in Salem this year. Using our one-day count and interview efforts, we know more than 1,200 individuals are experiencing homelessness on a given night. Our current shelter capacity for men, women and children in Salem is 555. This leaves 750 people looking for shelter in doorways, cars, and urban camps
Church@thePark is a Collaborative Navigation Center supported by eight Churches working with the City of Salem, ARCHES, United Way, and the Marion-Polk Food Share. Salem Leadership Foundation serves as the backbone collaborator and technical consultant.
Church@thePark currently operates on a one-acre property with a 2,100-square-foot center located adjacent to Cascades Gateway Park. The Navigation Center provides food security for more than 100 individuals a day providing one meal a day and pantry boxes twice a week in partnership with Marion-Polk Food Share. Church@thePark is also a distribution center for sleeping bags, tents, tarps, socks, warming clothes, and hygiene items. Church@thePark serves as an Emergency Safe Parking coordinator for 6 vehicle campers at up to eight sites with a capacity for 48 vehicles and 96 people sheltered.
The Oregon Jaycees Foundation has made the one-acre property at (2410 Turner Rd SE) available to C@TP since 2008, and now desire the group to purchase the property for $350,000. We are seeking broad crowd funding support of $100,000 to purchase the property.
Help us today and continue our work of 600 meals a week, 96 sheltered in safe parking each night, and navigation to new opportunities for more than 100 people a day.
