QUAD Inc.

Our friends from Upstream Access came to our Station 162 building for an emergency preparedness workshop last week. Upstream Access is a cross-disability community grounded in resilience, connection and collective power that supports our disability community through collective resilience.

During our workshop, QUAD residents participated in an extreme heat preparedness session that explored practical, person-centered strategies for individuals living with disabilities and community members to stay cool in times of extreme heat. Residents also worked on creating support networks and brainstormed resources to create resilient emergency response plans.

At the end of the session, Upstream Access provided extreme heat kits to QUAD resident participants. The kits contained useful items like electric fans, solar-powered lights, ice packs and more.

Thank you Upstream Access for empowering QUAD residents to become better prepared for future emergencies and thank you to the Clark Foundation for funding this awesome event!

We cannot believe the transformation of the community garden beds at Myers Court! The overhaul was quite a task with all the overgrown weeds from the off season, but our residents and volunteers did an amazing job!

Our resident community gardens are officially ready for the season 🪴. Thank you to our volunteers and residents for putting in the hard work to make sure this growing season is a good one!

Calling All Gardeners - Volunteers Needed!

Spring has sprung, which means it is time for our residents to prepare their community garden beds. However, we just need one thing... your help! Quad Inc. and our residents are looking for volunteers to help us with weeding, mulching, and planting seeds in our community garden beds so we can have another successful year. We will host garden cleanup days at four of our buildings.

The garden cleanup days will take about two to four hours depending on how many volunteers sign up. Expect to get your hands dirty (unless you would like to bring gloves) along with some laughs and a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, including our residents.

Want to volunteer? Click the link https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/i0JAS2KW4K to fill out our volunteer signup.

Our communities at Quad Inc. help us continue our efforts in serving people living with physical disabilities in the Portland metro through the provision of barrier-free, low-cost housing and 24/7 shared attendant care services. Last night Quad Inc. residents, staff, friends and family gathered at the Moda Center to sell 5050 raffle tickets and fundraise for Quad during the Portland Trail Blazer game. We sold over $7,500 in raffle tickets, fundraising close to $2,000 for Quad.

Thank you to the Portland Trail Blazers and our community members in supporting our mission!
