Our mission today is the same as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow: To love God, to love our neighbors as ourselves, to feed the hungry and welcome the stranger, to uphold the dignity of every human being, and to be peacemakers in a time of strife. We are followers of Jesus the Christ.

From HomeShare’s website: Homesharing is simple: A home provider offers accommodation to a renter in exchange for an agreed level of support in the form of financial exchange, assistance with household tasks, or simple companionship. Home sharing is about building relationships, while also living in affordable housing. Home seekers and home providers mutually agree to live together. Come to one of our monthly meetings to learn more or get help at tech-time to get your space listed or create a renter profile. We meet the third Thursday of every month at Cascade Park Library branch (next door to Firstenburg at 600 NE 136th Ave, Vancouver, WA) from 2-3:30pm – ask the library staff to direct you to the correct meeting room – drop-ins are welcome.
