About – Friends of Ours PDX

Terrance Moses

So many of us are just one accident, one diagnosis, one business closure away from financial disaster.

My belief in a better world and the inherent goodness and worthiness of all people keeps me motivated to do something tangible to help vulnerable folks rather than succumb to “compassion fatigue.” I created Friends of Ours to offer direct assistance, information, and advocacy while bringing comfort, relief, and hope to people who feel like they’re at the end of the road or who others perceive as a lost cause.

Who We Help

Friends of Ours offers acts of loving kindness to help the most vulnerable in our North, Northeast, and inner Southeast Portland communities. This encompasses:

Houseless Folks

Anyone who lives in tents, cars, or RVs – especially veterans, seniors, people with disabilities, or families.

Low-income Families

Parents who need a boost to provide necessities (winter coats and shoes) or extras (holiday gifts and treats) for their children.

Friends in Need

Those aging in place, differently abled, or experiencing mental health challenges and struggle to maintain their yards and homes, experience food scarcity, or are otherwise in need of assistance.
