#1 Reason this page was created: To help those New to the Portland Area find their way around our Community. While I try my best to evenly share information for Families on all Levels of Income, this page is geared more toward the Families who live the Portland Frugal Life. Raising Kids can be expensive, but it doesn't have to be. The focus of this page is to help spread the word about Resources in our area that can help off-set the costs of raising kids, such as:
#1 - Food: Free/Low Cost Items, information on Community Gardens & Food Banks, Free Food Give A Way Events.
#2 - Clothing: Free Clothing Swaps, super sales at Thrift/Consignment Stores.
#3 - Education: Free/Low Cost Programs & Events, Area Scholarships & Grants. (For every education level).
#4 - Resource Information: on Programs that help Homeless or At Risk Families. Free/Low Cost Medical Programs, anything else that might be helpful to a family facing a Crisis.
#5 - Affordable Housing Options: Local Programs, Information on Housing Assistance, Listings of Apartments with Low Monthly Rent.
#6 - Anything else helpful that would help ease the Financial Stress family's face in times of hardships.
