HSBC Employees Volunteer in Tigard

Matthew Storer was among seven HSBC employees who volunteered to do yard maintenance and general cleanup work at the Good Neighbor Center in Tigard. The volunteer activity was organized through a strategic partnership between United Way of the Columbia-Willamette and Hands On Greater Portland

The Good Neighbor Center is a residence facility for homeless people who can stay for up to six weeks. The program is designed for those families who are suffering temporary financial issues and are currently homeless.

Nine rooms are available in the facility. Residents have access to a remodeled central kitchen area that has donated food, a new commercial refrigerator and freezer, and a dining area that seats up to 36 people. Local church groups sign up to come in and prepare meals as volunteer projects, but families can also choose to make their own meals as well.
