Securing Homeless Individuals with a Foundation for Tomorrow a.k.a SHIFT.

Who are we?

We are a group of students at Lake Oswego High School who have made it our goal to make a difference in our community. Our main focus is helping homeless individuals transition off the streets through charity work and donations.

Currently we are focusing our efforts on research to find the best foundations to support. We will then create fundraisers within our school and community to support the foundations we find in the Portland area.

We also recognize the disconnect between our Lake Oswego community and the homeless community. We have created a Twitter page, a Facebook page, a Blogger, and will make an Instagram page. Our social media sites will help you stay informed and track our work, while also showing possible organizations to donate to. We will post fundraising opportunities on all of our blogs. Our Instagram page will share pictures and stories of homeless people in order create an understanding of the unfortunate circumstances that make people homeless and help our community empathize with the homeless. We want to humanize these individuals through social media and help our community lift up one another.
