Operation HOPE – Bradley Angle

Living Islands is all about networking and communities. We spend most of our time working with the Micronesian Communities, but we are also very aware that our Micronesian Communities are part of our greater communities here in the USA, and we are always ready to reach out and help across the communities.

We have joined as one of the community partners in Operation HOPE, to help support people in need across all communities.

Today Operation HOPE fulfilled an order request for 30 bags to Bradley Angle, whose mission is to serve all people affected by domestic violence. Bradley Angle value the dignity and personal story of everyone who comes to them for support, and respect that survivors should have control over their own lives. They do this by placing people experiencing, or at risk of, domestic violence at the center of our services and providing them with safety, education, empowerment, healing, and hope. All of Bradley Angle’s services are free and rely on the generosity and support of our supporters.

Domestic Violence is on the rise this year, in large parts because of the Pandemic. If you, or someone you know, is in a Domestic Violence situation, please call their helpline at (503) 235-5333 or visit their website at https://bradleyangle.org/.

If you are currently in a Domestic Violence situation, make sure to select the incognito/privacy mode by pressing Ctrl-Shift-N before going to the webpage to prevent tracking!

Covid-19 testing for Pacific Islander communities

As part Covid-19 response, we have partnered with Washington County and Intel POI to provide language assistance at Pacific Islander community test sites.

The first test site was at Aloha High School, Saturday, June 27th.

We had the help of Virginia Garcia Medical Group for the medical testing, and supplied community members with a resource box full of food, provided by Village Church, Sonrise Church, and Oregon Food Bank.

The event went fantastic with almost 200 community members being tested!

Census 2020 – Time to get Counted

Utopia PDX and Empowering Pacific Islander Communities have partnered with us to ensure that our local Pacific Islander communities are informed about the Census in 2020 and understand why it is so important for us to be counted!

Last Thursday, December 26th, 2019, we conducted our first Census 2020 Workshop in our local Marshallese community leaders in Salem.

It was a great way to end 2019, and an inspiring way to kick start 2020!
