Our Shelter
The Shelter at Orenco Station , SOS, is located in Hillsboro, Oregon at Sonrise Church. It is run cooperatively by the local faith community. Last year Sonrise, Hillsboro Presbyterian and Saint Juan Diego churches worked together to operate the shelter. This year Hillsboro United Church of Christ , St. Matthew, St. Pius X, Laurel Community , Brookwood Baptist and Community of ChristChurch congregations have joined us.
During the 2009-10 winter season, we plan to open December 1 and operate continuously until February 28. This will provide more security for our guests and allow us to schedule regular visits from service organizations aimed at addressing the root causes of homelessness. Our ability to operate will depend on the willingness of our volunteers to give of their time and talent. Thank you for considering this opportunity!
