This month we salute The Dougy Center and the work they do with children and families in the community. If you are interested in volunteering at The Dougy Center, please visit: www.dougy.org
Packouz Jewelers is also proud to support these non-profit organizations:
The Dougy Center provides support in a safe place where children, teens, young adults, and their families grieving a death can share their experiences. We provide support and training locally, nationally and internationally to individuals and organizations seeking to assist children in grief. We are supported solely through private support from individuals, foundations and companies. The Dougy Center does not charge a fee for its services. For more information, visit www.dougy.org
Self Enhancement, Inc. (SEI), is a nonprofit organization supporting at-risk urban youth. We not only see the productive community members that our students will become, we keep it real, and help them make it a reality. There’s little debate that SEI impacts students in a profound way. Yet these kids don’t merely succeed. They become positive, contributing citizens who give back to their communities, start businesses, influence others and provide opportunity for new generations of at-risk youth. They are tangible examples of a promising cycle of hope, progress, and giving back—a cycle initially made possible by the generosity and compassion of people like you.

Transitional Youth works to provide at-risk and homeless youth the opportunity and skills to achieve independent living. Transitional Youth provides outreach, support and housing to positively transform the hearts and lives of at-risk and homeless youth through compassion, guidance, and the grace of God. We help homeless youth by serving more than 12,000 meals at our outreach center in downtown Portland annually, operating two fully-staffed residential home programs, providing a sense of “home” many have never experienced before, helping youth obtain full time employment and moving on to independent living situations.
