Communications

Thank you to every supporter who donated in 2025 and showed up for our End-of-Year Campaign 💜 Your generosity fuels our mission and makes real impact possible. We couldn’t do this without you—here’s to continuing the work together in the year ahead. ✨

Happy New Year 🎊🎈 Here are our upcoming January activities

This is what community looks like 💜🎁 Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s Holiday Store happen ✨ Together, we shared 650 gift bundles (almost 1,000 items total) with 152 youth this holiday season! The smiles, excitement, and joy were unforgettable 💜 Thank you for showing up and join us in keeping the cheer going!

Big Book Day = Big Impact! 💜
Every donation of $10 or more today has a chance to win a $500 gift card to Powell’s Books. Today is your day, bookworms — set aside your latest page-turner (don’t worry, you’ll have your nose back in a book in no time) and make sure you’re in the running for your favorite thing: more books!

Powell’s gift cards can be redeemed at any of their retail locations, including the famous flagship store at NW 10th and Burnside, or online.

⍟ Are you 35 or under? We have a second $500 Powell’s gift card set aside just for our younger donors. That means two chances to win today for 35U donors!

Your generosity directly fuels the warm meals we serve, the basic needs we provide, and the stable support our team offers to youth experiencing hardship in Washington County. For many young people, HomePlate is the one place they can count on for safety, community, and resources—especially during the holidays.
