Maybelle Center reduces loneliness and isolation by providing meaningful connection through volunteer visits, our community room, individual member support, and housing. Because of donors and volunteers, each year over 500 members have a community at Maybelle Center where they are loved and accepted, right where they are.
Our members live in low-income buildings scattered throughout Old Town and Downtown Portland. Most experience poverty and are at-risk for social isolation, which is intensified by mental or physical challenges, addiction, or trauma.
Old Town Residents have a community at Maybelle Center where they are loved and accepted, right where they are. We celebrate everyone's birthday here are Maybelle Center for Community each month, we would like to be more inclusive to our members who are diabetics, by having a sugar free cake for them.
We would love to have a person who loves to bake cakes with Stevia or Monk fruit make a cake for the members of our community, the 4th Thursday of each month, so they can enjoy their piece of cake and eat it too. We would request that you are able to drop the cake off at the Maybelle Center on this day between 9:30 am and 3 pm.

Description

Support Services: One-on-one meetings with members to navigate barriers to independence and stability.
Spiritual Support: Spiritual support and memorials appropriate to each member’s faith or religious tradition.
Community Room: Our community room is a comfortable space for members to gather during the day. Affectionately called "their living room."
Low Income Housing: Macdonald West has 42 affordable studio apartments for people who earn 60% or less of the median family income.
Assisted Living: Macdonald Residence has 54 rooms and is one of the only 100% Medicaid facilities in the nation.
