Description

Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon (EMO) brings together diverse communities of faith to learn, serve and advocate for justice, peace and the integrity of creation. EMO offers a number of diverse, direct service programs to address hunger, nutrition and social support, affordable housing opportunities, and refugee and immigration services.

Slavic Oregon Social Services (ROSS) was established by Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon (EMO) to serve the needs of Russian-speaking refugees and immigrants. Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Services include:

• long-term case management
• crisis intervention
• advocacy
• assistance obtaining protective orders and communication with law enforcement
• individualized resource planning/referrals
• assistance accessing low-cost/free legal services
• mental health counseling
• assistance with temporary/transitional housing
• short-term financial assistance and support groups

EMO’s Sponsors Organized to Assist Refugees (SOAR) resettles hundreds of refugees a year. They link sponsors—congregations, friends or community organizations—with refugees before they arrive in the United States, and help sponsors welcome and assist refugees in their adjustment to a new life in the Portland metro area. Refugees are welcomed, given temporary homes with household items and food, and offered assistance as they learn a new language, develop job skills and search for employment.
