Habitat for Humanity Nails 4th Annual Hard Hat & Black Tie Gala

Portland, October 3rd, 2014. Habitat for Humanity Portland/Metro East’s 4th Annual Hard Hat & Black Tie Dinner and Auction took over the Nines Hotel by storm. Spencer Noecker, Cambria Benson, Lauren Noecker, and Christian Robert enjoyed local wine during the silent auction. This signature event raised $210,000 to build homes in partnership with local hardworking families in Portland.

Community Service

Due to limited ability, we are unable to schedule court-mandated community service hours at this time.

Building dreams takes lots of behind-the-scenes work from dedicated volunteers. We have a variety of ways that community members can get engaged with us, no tool belt needed.
