Community Resilience

Strengthening Connections, Building Resilience in East Portland

The Rosewood Initiative’s Community Resilience programs are focused on creating a stronger social fabric that will prepare our community to respond and recover in emergencies. We do this through skill-building opportunities like digital literacy classes and emergency preparedness cohorts, cultivating fresh, culturally relevant produce in our emerging community garden, and supporting families with resource giveaways

Explore how each program creates a lasting impact and learn more about each program below.

Community Garden

We are on the journey of transforming our outdoor space into a garden and food forest. Community members will be able to reserve spaces to plant in, we'll have fresh produce to distribute to the community, and we will integrate garden activities into our programming.
