Holiday Cheer volunteers help bring the holiday spirit into the homes of more than 50 isolated older adults in N, NE and E Portland by providing gifts and companionship during December.
Volunteers deliver gift bags to homebound or isolated adults throughout the month of December, spending meaningful time visiting and sharing with them.
Volunteers should allow 30 minutes to an hour for each gift delivery. Gift bags are picked up from the MFS Project Linkage office at 2200 NE 24th Ave. Portland and delivered to older adults and people with disabilities in NE and Eeast Portland. Delivery volunteers must be 18 or older or accompanied by an adult, and pass a criminal background check. Register early to be matched with someone in your area.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to help people gain prosperity, promote equity, and build a connected community for all ages. MFS connects with children, families, and older adults from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds, reaching more than 24,000 people each year in Portland, Oregon's tri-county area. We work to empower individuals at every stage of life by ensuring childhood and youth success, fostering economic well-being, promoting community health and wellness, and addressing our environment in innovative ways. MFS is dedicated to building stronger communities by providing services, connecting people with resources, and offering meaningful and rewarding volunteer opportunities.
Description
Since 1950, our nonprofit has grown from family counseling in the early days, to a broad-based multi-service organization within our culturally diverse, intergenerational community today.
We embrace innovation to create sustainable solutions that address disparities, promote equity, and demonstrate respect for all individuals.
As an anti-racist and culturally responsive organization, we understand acknowledging disparities is not enough. We partner with community members who choose to partner with us to access services they see as helpful to them.
At our organization, we tackle complex challenges by actively listening and engaging with diverse perspectives to understand and meet the needs of the community. In all that we do, we honor the inherent strength of intergenerational, multicultural communities.
Metropolitan Family Service (MFS) volunteers serve in various capacities, depending on their interests and abilities.
