Why Donate to Birch Community Services?

764,160 households in Oregon are living paycheck to paycheck. 73% of these struggling households are employed and earning above the poverty line but still aren’t able to make ends meet.

At Birch, we are dealing with the root of the problem through financial courses and counseling, while simultaneously alleviating participants’ financial pressure through the provision of weekly groceries. 

The average family completing their first year is able to decrease their debt by $7,000 and increase their savings by $1,000.
