Relief through writing
Help us nurture next season’s stories
Dear Friends,
On a chalkboard in temporary housing, Dallas wrote down a list of goals.
One of them was to become a published writer.
Thanks to donor support, Dallas achieved that dream with Write Around Portland!
Dallas’ story is all too common. After enduring a difficult divorce, she lost her housing of seven years. We connected with her at Multnomah Safe Rest Village and wrote with her for 10 weeks.
She is published in our anthology The Whole Root, published in December 2023.
Our Project: Funding for Fall
As a small nonprofit organization, Write Around Portland needs your help right now. As you may know, our programming is seasonal, and our fall network of workshops begins September 9.

- Facilitate the publication of our 63rd book
- Help us host our Winter Reading & Book Release for over 100 people
