Explore a variety of culturally specific child care options across the Portland metro area, including programs in Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, and more. See you there! 🍎

H.R.1 continues to bring substantial changes to welfare and assistance programs in Oregon. This can impact current and future eligibility requirements across SNAP, OHP (Oregon Health Plan), and other departments. Many of these changes disproportionately impact our BIPOC communities already facing systemic barriers to health care, food access, and economic stability. If you are registered for any of these programs, we recommend verifying your status on a continuous basis.

We know these changes can be scary, we're in this together. 💛

SAVE THE DATE: Join us on Saturday, August 22, 2026 for our first BIPOC Mental Health Summit Presented by Oregon Heals.

✨Healing Together: Across Generations, Across Communities✨

We invite you to a community convening of youth, advocates, and mental health professionals for workshops and discussions centering BIPOC mental health. Together, we can break the silence shaped by intergenerational trauma, cultural stigma, and systemic barriers, and build a future where healing is possible!

Since we lost our brother and colleague Cayle Tern, so many of you have reached out asking how you can help.

Join us this Thursday from 6:00 to 8pm, we're gathering at CORE Food Carts in SE Portland for our monthly APANO Action Fund happy hour dedicated to honor Cayle's life and legacy. These happy hours were one of the many things that Cayle worked on during his time at APANO. He truly enjoyed every opportunity he had to connect with others.

You don't need to have known Cayle personally to belong here. If you're able to give to his family's fundraiser, we'd be grateful. If you can only show up and listen, that matters too.

We'd love it if you RSVP'd to our gathering so we can have a headcount: bit.ly/AFMay28HH 🕊️
