On Saturday, May 9th, we hosted a successful energy efficiency workshop in partnership with Energy Trust of Oregon!

Community members learned practical ways to save energy at home, reduce utility costs and access valuable resources and programs available through Energy Trust of Oregon. Participants also had the time and support form liaisons to apply for income-qualified energy bill discounts based on their utility provider.
We had 50 participants from diverse communities attend and create a space for access to important resources. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this workshop a success!

At Division Midway Alliance, we have had the privilege of supporting and walking alongside entrepreneurs in East Portland through our Small Business Capacity Building Program. This video brings their voices to the center, sharing not just their successes, but the real challenges, risks, and determination it takes to build something of their own.
Small businesses are a critical part of East Portland’s economic and social fabric, yet their stories are often overlooked. These are stories of resilience, of community, and of people who continue to show up every day to create opportunity for themselves and others.
When we support small businesses, we are not just supporting an idea, we are investing in families, in culture, local economy and in the future of our neighborhoods.
Take a moment to listen, to learn, and to support the businesses that make our community stronger.

Featured Businesses: F&F Services, G&S Market, Van Nien, Nayku PaperFlower, Elite Bookkeeping, Culture Club Fashion, GoldenSwanBeefJerky, Creations By Yuri
