Covid-19 Testing in Tualatin

By Jesper Angelo Oct 13, 2020 No Comments

Today we had the last Covid-19 test site targeted at Pacific Islanders in Washington County this year. The event was great, with 150+ community members test. We are blessed for being able to provide these test sites, with interpreters on-site and material in multiple Pacific Languages.

At the event, we had the chance once again to provide food and resources for the people who got tested. In the midst of Pandemic, Wildfires, and Economic Recession, these resources have never been more important, and we truly appreciate the organizations that have supported and helped our efforts.

We also had the chance to say thank you so much for all work you do, to all the volunteers by serving a warm islander meal and plenty of donuts and coffee!

We are gearing up!

On Tuesday we’re hosting our final drive-thru Covid-19 testing for Pacific Islanders in Washington County in the parking lot of Horizon Christian High School in Tualatin.

In addition to this, we secured a $45,000 grant from Multnomah County and are currently coordinating the delivery of Cultural Foods to our Pacific Islander communities in the county, starting in late October or the beginning of November.

More information will follow at the end of October.

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!
