GreenBox of Hope

GreenBox is donating one of their innovative, environmentally friendly, portable pre-fabricated buildings for a dwelling place at Dignity Village. On Saturday, June 12th we get to build it!

Dignity Village is a city-recognized encampment of homeless people in Portland. Homeless folks in Portland who were tired of sleeping under bridges and in door ways started “tent city”; after being recognized by the city it was deemed Dignity Village.

The village is registered as a 501(c)3. Its really impressive as they have a general civic structure, basic rules of order and community gardens as well as revenue generation opportunity. there is an office and community restroom. other than that residents build small structures to live in.
