Help For Today ...
...Hope For Tomorrow
At Birch Community Services, we serve working poor families in the Portland/Vancouver area offering Help for Today and Hope for Tomorrow. The families in the BCSI program:
- Select the wholesome, nutritious foods that will go on their tables;
- Acquire new skills in money management, computer use and job search through workshops and classes;
- Volunteer regularly at the BCSI warehouse to save on operational costs. This helps to keep the program running smoothly, helps to meet the financial obligations of the organization, and keeps overhead costs down;
- Help other working poor families in a caring environment; and
- Gain confidence and hope for a better tomorrow.
