Show up with us in Portland
Join FLESHANDBONEVEINSWITHPAIN OUTREACH as a volunteer. Street-level care, no red tape, just showing up for your neighbors.
Street-level care in Portland, no red tape
We meet neighbors where they are, with supplies and respect. Outreach runs happen on Portland streets every Tuesday and Thursday.
Not every volunteer job is indoors. That's the point.
Street supply runs
Walk with us through Portland camps and corners. Hand out hygiene kits, warm meals, socks, and water. No desk required.
Wound care support
Learn basic wound cleaning and bandaging. You don't need to be a nurse to help someone heal on the street.
Street & camp cleanup
Help us leave a stretch of Portland cleaner than we found it. Gloves and bags included. We do the heavy lifting together.
Supply sorting hub
Organize donations at our community hub. Sort socks, pack kits, prep meals. It's behind-the-scenes, but it's the backbone.
Neighborhood ambassador
Connect with local businesses, gather supplies, and spread word of our Tuesdays and Thursdays runs. You're the bridge.
Volunteer shifts built around your week
We keep it simple: show up when you can, do what fits. No red tape, no long-term promise, just real help on Portland streets.
Pick your Tuesday or Thursday
Join our street runs on Tuesdays or Thursdays. One shift works — no weekly commitment required.
No experience needed
We train you on the spot and pair you with a regular. Just bring a warm heart and steady hands.
Choose your kind of help
Hand out supplies, make meal bags, or help with camp cleanups. Match the work to what feels right.
Short shifts, real impact
A few hours on a street corner goes further than you think. Every kit handed over matters.
300 Portland neighbors have already shown up
First-timers tell their own stories of Tuesday and Thursday runs, and the quiet moment that keeps them coming back.
I was nervous my first Tuesday. Dee handed me socks and just said, 'Walk with me.' Four hours later, I'd bandaged someone's foot and actually listened. That's it. That's the work.

Weekend street team volunteer
No red tape, no training videos. I showed up on a Thursday, and within an hour I was handing out hygiene kits at a camp. They treat you like a neighbor, not a number.
James T.
Thursday supply-run volunteer
I thought I'd just be hauling boxes. But we stopped to sit with a man whose feet were torn up. We cleaned them, wrapped them, and talked about his dog. You can't unsee that.
Priya S.
Weekday outreach volunteer
The first time I came, I felt I had nothing to offer. Dee just said, 'Showing up is the offer.' Now I run the weekend cleanup crew. That's how fast they trust you here.
Marcus W.
Weekend cleanup crew lead
I work remote, so I moved my hours around Tuesdays. Folding socks with strangers turned into the most human part of my week. The organization plans, but the streets guide.
