2025 End of Year Update

One of the food boxes we were able to provide to community members!

In 2025, WomenFirst focused on what matters most: keeping people housed. We supported 95 individuals with housing stability services, and 84% of those served come from underrepresented communities.

With funding from the Oregon Health Authority, we were able to help Black and Brown participants stay in their homes—and in some cases, secure housing they would not have been able to access otherwise. Since July, WomenFirst has invested $409,756.12 in housing stability support, covering critical needs like relocation and utility assistance so participants could remain safe and housed.

We also teamed up with Greater Saint Stephens Missionary Baptist Church to provide $15,777.45 in emergency food assistance, delivering Thanksgiving food baskets to families when they needed it most.
