Beaverton Welcoming Week Resource Fair
Join Us for Beaverton’s Welcoming Week Resource Fair!
Welcoming Week, celebrated nationally and led by Welcoming America, is a time to bring together neighbors of all backgrounds to build strong connections and affirm that our communities are stronger when everyone feels they belong.
This year, we’re excited to join the City of Beaverton at the Beaverton City Library for the Welcoming Week Resource Fair—part of Beaverton’s 2025 National Welcoming Week celebration! The event will bring together immigrants, refugees, and long-time residents to connect, share resources, and celebrate the rich diversity that makes our community thrive.
Visitors will have the opportunity to gain valuable information, discover community programs, and make meaningful connections—and to share their own stories, resources, and talents that strengthen our shared home.
We hope to see you there!

World Refugee Day PDX Walk
🧡 World Refugee Day PDX Walk 2025
Date: Friday, June 20, 2025
Time: 5:30–7:30 PM (Walk begins at 6:00 PM)
Location: Downtown Portland Waterfront
Starting Point: Salmon Street Springs Fountain
This World Refugee Day, join neighbors, friends, and community members across the Portland metro area for a casual early evening walk in honor of refugees and displaced people around the world. With everything going on, we know how full life can feel—and how needed simple moments of connection are.
No big program, no speeches. Just a welcoming space to move together, reflect, and reconnect with what matters.
Choose Your Pace, Choose Your Path:
👟 Adventurous Route: Steel Bridge → Eastbank Esplanade → Tilikum Crossing
🩴 Humble Route: Steel Bridge → Eastbank Esplanade → Hawthorne Bridge
🎒 Grab a World Refugee Day care bag when you arrive (while supplies last)
👕 Wear whatever’s comfortable—WRD T-shirts from past years are always welcome
🌳 After the walk, stay and relax under the trees by the waterfront
Why We Walk:
World Refugee Day is a time to remember and honor people around the world who have been forced to leave home. Here in Portland, we mark the day by simply showing up and walking together—with open hearts and no agenda—toward a future that includes everyone.
This walk began a few years ago thanks to a dedicated local community member. It continues today as a shared tradition for all who call the Portland metro area home. If you see us—come walk with us.
🧡 With deep appreciation to CareOregon for continuing to sponsor this event and walk beside us year after year.
