New Handmade Patient Gowns
We want to express our gratitude to Susan Wright for handmaking fifteen gorgeous patient gowns for North by Northeast.

We Will Have a New Home Soon!!!
We will be moving to a new home soon! At the end of February we signed a lease for a 1900 sq foot space in the Garlington Center at 3034 NE Martin Luther King Blvd. The center is a community institution in inner North and Northeast Portland, serving African Americans and members of other minority groups with mental health needs.
