Terwilliger Plaza is as unique as the people who call it home. We’re community and cooperation. A place not for profit, but for people. A dynamic environment that embraces promise. Somewhere to truly call home.
Come find a new morning with unlimited possibilities. Find laughter and work together to make our world a better place. It’s celebrating every day and experiencing every moment. It’s rewriting the future and always living forward.
It takes something special to make the place you live home. At Terwilliger Plaza it’s a strong self governed and self determined community. We’re always learning, always growing, all together.
The Community Benefit Outreach program addresses the Plaza’s commitment to social responsibility. Social accountability programs identify and alleviate unmet needs in the greater Portland community. Plaza members and staff have partnered with Volunteer organizations. Through this program, the Plaza has served with over 45 local organizations and has a strong commitment to donate money, durable goods, equipment and furniture. Members are engaged with local organizations, such as Benson High School, where the Plaza is consistently used as a meeting place and a teaching resource. The Plaza is also available for other non-profit organizations as a meeting place.
Collection programs, such as the Oregon Food Bank and the Transition Project benefit from the outreach program, along with Goodwill, the Multnomah City Library and Central City Concern. Encouraging volunteerism through active involvement and ongoing education improve the overall program. The Community Benefit Outreach program is good for the greater community, the Plaza’s mission and the people it serves.
