HOURS OF OPERATION: Noon to 2:00 pm every Second and Fourth Saturday. The program is fully open again.

Our goal is to provide free furniture and household goods to anyone in need. To accomplish this, we need your donations of furniture and household items which are in good condition, such as you would use in your own home. On the second and fourth Saturdays of every month, we open our doors to the furniture module located behind the church. There, we accept donations and give donations to those in need.

Time to clean out your closets, kitchen cabinets, and hall closets. Your extra "stuff" can be used at homes where others have very little. We are always in need of kitchen supplies, linen, bedding, towels, and beds. Bring your extra household items to our furniture/household goods module located in the back of the church on the second and fourth Saturday every month between NOON and 2PM. Smaller items can be dropped off at the parish office during normal business hours. Extra clothes can be brought to the St. Pauley Used Clothing Shed on the North end of the property. 

Thank you and God Bless You for your generosity. Contact: Bill Benson for further information, Cell: 503-209-0933.

The community garden is located in the backyard of the church property. We have 12 beds for community, parishioners, and charitable growing of vegetables. We are very proud of how much food we have given to the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry.

For more information about the community gardens, stay tuned to the parish newsletter in the early spring.

Located along the north entrance to St. Joseph the Worker, the St. Pauly clothing shed is available 24/7. We accept the following items:

• clothing in good condition

• shoes and sneakers

• belts

• purses

• blankets

• sheets

• drapes/curtains

• pillowcases

• clean stuffed animals

Please DO NOT leave items other than those listed above. Unwanted articles dumped near the shed create a lot of extra work  and cost money to dispose of at the landfill.

The St. Pauly clothing shed on our property is one of the busiest in the Portland area. St. Pauly does not sell the clothing as other donations sites might, nor do they shred them for use as rags. All clothing is distributed to developing countries, free of charge. For more information on St. Pauly Clothing Shed, click here.

St. Pauly clothing donations provide five cents per pound to our Helping Hands ministry (about $1000/year), which we then use to further other causes such as BonZeb, a program that provides jobs to needy people in Haiti while at the same time promoting sustainable processing of natural materials into useable heat sources for local residents. For more information on BonZeb, click here.
