Every once in a while, they'll get a volunteer that seems to have his head work shouldn't be, but that's excusable. I still see your value in coming to this location.

Birch is dedicated to helping families not only by providing food, but helping them figure out…read moretheir financial situations. As far as the food/shopping goes: you never know what you're going to get. As seasons change so does the food, but they always have the staples; bread, milk, pasta. Typically Lots of plant based options. You are required to volunteer every month Financially they really help you out! You're required to meet with a financial advisor and talk about your current situation and where you'd like to be and how you can get there. You're also required to take a financial course (I think it's 2 hours long for 6 sessions?) that literally goes through everything: savings, debt, how to's, traps, emergency funds, etc. it gives you a lot to think about and if you're starting from no where, it helps get you on the right track. Love the people who work here and how they really take an interest in each person and appreciate Birch for the help they provide (as well as all the Corps. That donate)

I had a few items listed on Craigslist to sell. My Omega VRT-350 Juicer was one of them!…read more I had someone interested and that someone lives at this retirement community! I drove into Vancouver and pulled off onto Main St. I pulled into the community and couldn't find any visitor parking, so I went ahead and parked in resident parking. With hundreds of parking spots, I felt fine doing so and picked the spot furthest away. I waited near a bench next to the garden/front lawn area and waited. There is a lot of hussle and bussle here at Knights of Pythias! There's a smoking area in the back area and there were a few guys on their mobility devices out talking in the sunshine day. I saw older men and woman and middle aged men and woman. Some had pets, some did not. Some needed help getting inside, most did not. :) I realized I needed to go in and actually meet my new online buddy at their 'residence' or actual room number. I went to the front desk, told the super friendly, Mr Smiles guy what was going on and he said, "Cool! Head upstairs to the left." I asked if it was safe, he chuckled and nodded. I told him my name and what kind of car I have and went upstairs. I'll try not to turn this into my NaMo story, but man oh man. I was nervous, ya'll. NERVOUS! I don't meet at people's home, let alone their front door. It's always a public spot. But. This is different for me. I had my pepper spray ready and rang the door bell.... HA! Totally not what I expected! I met with a middle aged woman who did NOT look like she would live in 'retirement community' but I saw lots of people coming and going that didn't fit the norm. She had a beet ready for us to juice and I gave her the instructions and she gave me some cash! We ended our transaction with a glass of beet juice! Now, back to the establishment itself. It's an older building for sure. The stairwells are scuffed and cold. The halls kept but absolutely dated. The fragrance wasn't bad, in any foul way, but was heavy with cleaners and just that "old building" kinda feel. The sitting area or 'living room' near the front lobby is VERY BIG. Many residents sat watching t.v, chatting, reading, etc and I did not have any negative feelings watching everyone enjoying themselves and relaxing. The furniture is extremely vintage (it's old ya'll. OLD) and patterns you'd see at antique or consignment shops. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Everything was so nice, but goodness gracious, this place needs some updating! Some new paint and modern touches. I don't think it would take a lot to really give this place a little extra 'umpf'! This part of town is getting some major upgrades and I'd love to see the Knights going with that as well. Id find it hard to believe this organization doesn't have skilled handymen and woman! available at a moments notice! I've passed this place tons of times and wasn't impressed, never realizing it was many people's HOMES! Powerwashing brick, new updated colors in paint, upgrade some furniture ... I'd give the place 5 stars and recommend for my own family come here. Currently, however, I was left a little depressed as I drove away thinking about how I am taking this task on now as my mom looks for active retirement communities herself ... Just because she's older, doesn't mean where she lives should look, feel or smell like it. I loved how friendly everyone was, including the residents and I would recommend anyone in need to check the Knights out, should that fall within your viewpoint of things. I'd give a 4 star, Yay! I'm a fan rating, however, didn't feel it was honest since this review is from my one visit there and not as a resident or daily visitor. However, I have added this location as volunteer options, so should I feel the need to update, I will. Thanks!

Oh My Goodness, I didn't realize that the Oregon Food Bank was a hub to so many central charities…read more They distribute nutritious meals to the community. McDonald's was a proud volunteer today, helping to package food items. Today, we sorted and repacked pancake mix to go out to various organizations. You also have to label the items with nutritional information as well as a cooking label. What's good is that anyone can volunteer to share your time by working with them. Only requirement is that you're 16 years of age with an adult or 18 years or older. So come by yourself as Devon did or come as a group. It is a great way to give back to the community. They also give tours so you can truly understand the impact hunger has on the community, the state. I truly was blessed by this event.
