Oregon Worker Relief Fund
Over 100 Oregon community partners, including Lower Columbia Hispanic council, have come together to form the Oregon Worker Relief Fund (OWRF) to help immigrant Oregonians make ends meet during this crisis.
OWRF provides financial support directly to Oregonians who have lost their jobs yet are ineligible for Unemployment Insurance and federal stimulus relief due to their immigration status, and now face hunger, homelessness, and economic hardship.
Let’s work together to make our community strong, healthy, and whole. You can donate to the fund here: https://www.workerrelief.org/donate/
