Older adults in our N and NE Portland community need short rides to get around.

With YOUR HELP older adults can continue to live in their homes or stay active in the community.
You can volunteer once a month or several times a week. It may only take 20 minutes, but it makes a huge difference. We provide the training and do all the coordinating - you just let us know when you are available, and we let you know who needs a ride and to where! You can use your car our one of our vehicles.

GIve a ride, help a neighbour.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to help people gain prosperity, promote equity, and build a connected community for all ages. MFS connects with children, families, and older adults from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds, reaching more than 24,000 people each year in Portland, Oregon's tri-county area. We work to empower individuals at every stage of life by ensuring childhood and youth success, fostering economic well-being, promoting community health and wellness, and addressing our environment in innovative ways. MFS is dedicated to building stronger communities by providing services, connecting people with resources, and offering meaningful and rewarding volunteer opportunities.

Description

Since 1950, our nonprofit has grown from family counseling in the early days, to a broad-based multi-service organization within our culturally diverse, intergenerational community today.

We embrace innovation to create sustainable solutions that address disparities, promote equity, and demonstrate respect for all individuals.

As an anti-racist and culturally responsive organization, we understand acknowledging disparities is not enough. We partner with community members who choose to partner with us to access services they see as helpful to them.

At our organization, we tackle complex challenges by actively listening and engaging with diverse perspectives to understand and meet the needs of the community. In all that we do, we honor the inherent strength of intergenerational, multicultural communities.

Metropolitan Family Service (MFS) volunteers serve in various capacities, depending on their interests and abilities.
