The sacred space in which we gather
- the sanctuary -
is there to receive, respect, and serve the sacred lives of those in need.
A Community of Service
![]() Operation Nightwatch
Operation Nightwatch is a non-sectarian night ministry of friendship and community that has been serving Portland’s street population since 1981. Whereas other agencies exist to provide services such as housing, food, and clothing to the homeless, low-income, and mentally ill, ONW’s unique vision is that these populations also suffer from social isolation. Our simple mission is to reach out to them, nurturing relationship. We welcome each person who comes to us, just as they are. No one is required to conform to any particular belief or faith practice in order to receive our services. For more info or to donate, visit operationnightwatch.org |
