JOIN is a local organization that helps over 500 individuals and families transition from the chaos and danger of the streets to the safety and stability of permanent housing each year.  JOIN utilizes an innovative relationship-based model that empowers individuals to define their own path from the street to a home.  You can find out more about JOIN's work in the community at www.joinpdx.com.

This holiday season, the Lincoln, Scholz, and Waagen households have decided to help JOIN raise enough money to help one homeless family transition into housing.  My goal is to raise $2,500, which covers move-in costs and post-placment supportive services for one household for one year. 

I know you will be asked by many worthy organizations to make a contribution this holiday season.  I hope you'll consider making a gift to help one family regain stability, reconnect with community, and start again.
