From vibrant community gatherings to essential housing and education support, we’re making bold moves in 2025 to serve and uplift farmworker and immigrant families across Oregon. We’re currently seeking values-aligned sponsors to help make it all possible.
Sponsorships or table fees are for two community events:
Bike & Bricks Block Party on August 6th at Nuevo Amanecer
Homeownership & Community Resource Fair at Woodburn High on October 26th
Executive Director, Maria Elena Guerra participated in a conference panel sharing FHDC and Evolve’s experience in delivering culturally specific housing and the unique needs of our communities.
Currently, youth and families are taking Zapotec and Mixteco language classes two times a week. The Indigenous language and cultural enrichment activities will continue through the school year and into summer, combined with care and weekly harvests at the community garden.
With nearly 80% of families moved into the affordable and spacious new units, 116 families will call Colonia Paz home this Spring!
Asset Building, Homebuying, Food and Health Resource Distribution, Legal Services, Dancing, y más!
Year end celebrations continued with the completion of the first of four complex buildings of Colonia Paz II and receiving 29 new families.
In collaboration with Rural Development Initiatives (RDI), we hosted Pasos al Éxito for the Woodburn community at our Cipriano Ferrel Education Center.
