Come support a great cause!

Quest Center’s mission is to provide services, community, and education to all people seeking a wellness-focused approach to living and dying. We work to assist our clients to sustain lifestyle changes that support healing, and to effectively strengthen those diagnosed with chronic or life-challenging illnesses, including HIV/AIDS, mental health disorders, chemical dependency, and cancer. While we most often treat those with chronic and life challenging illnesses, we also offer preventive and wellness care through our Wellness Programs.

For those of you who don't know, WonderQuest is Quest Center's annual fundraiser. All proceeds will support programming and services for our low-income, at-risk clients.

Get more out of your garden space!

The goal of intensive gardening is to harvest the most produce possible from a given space. Learn how to grow more in a small space in this practical class for the urban agriculturalist. Discover simple ways to maximize your garden through soil prep, succession sowing, companion planting, and vertical gardening methods. This is a great class for city dwellers that never seem to have enough garden space! Attend this hands-on class and take home some newly sown seeds for your garden.

As community leaders in Metro Portland and Vancouver, we want to let you know that the Bank of America Charitable Foundation Neighborhood Excellence Initiative is underway for 2010.

Our family elder has saved the full-color comics from the newspaper each Sunday for more than a year...and is hoping these can be useful to a non-profit group for art projects, etc. There is a large pile of them, about 14" tall...all Sunday funnies in color. Please email if you can use them! We can deliver downtown, or close in any quadrant. Or, you can pick up from us in Tigard. Thanks! [email protected]
