"Thank you for the work you do, in a world where most of the news we get is bad news, it really means something to me to know that, quietly and without fanfare, you are making the world a better place filling one empty stomach at a time." - kind words from a donor to Sisters

November 2011: Sisters Profiled in The Oregonian
“A place out of the rain & cold.” Cameo’s Sisters Story
“We’re like family here, we work together, we help with everything that needs to be done. This isn’t just a soup line… when you’re here, you’re welcome here, you’re family, you’re treated equally no matter what.”
As part of the Sisters community, Cameo is a regular Cafe volunteer and an especially active member of our Empowered Voices Media Project (EVMP).
“Sisters… helps build skills…. Like making movies [through the EVMP] – you’ve learned how to use a video camera so you now have a skill to go out and try to get a job… Sisters helps the community with more than just a meal.”
For Cameo, as for so many of us, Sisters is a place to enjoy the warmth of good food, hard work and family.
“I love the environment here – no matter if it’s a good day or a bad day, I always have a smile on my face because I know we’re working with each other, we’re working with the homeless community to make their day better .. even if it’s just the meal – it’s a warm meal and a place out of the rain and cold.”
