Due to Covid-19, those who wish to stay in their car can follow the drive thru instructions to remain in their vehicle and open trunk for distribution will be on the east side of the building next to IMO’s.

Troublesome Movement 501(c)3 was founded in 2012 in Portland, Oregon. They offer educational and economic services to racial minorities, and other disadvantaged groups needing and wanting to change the current life circumstances and become their best selves and get their lives back on course. The WE project seeks to help bridge the gaps between these diverse communities through intersectional dialogue, and to engage the community at large in conversations about radical equity, inclusion and healing. Rock The Community assists in redevelopment of local communities by engaging youth-based activities, initiatives, and rebuilding residents and communities.
