Giving Back

PAYING IT FORWARD

Supporting our communities is one of our passions — paying it forward, helping those in need, and investing in people who help other people. Through our philanthropic efforts, we offer assistance and relief — but by example, we hope to inspire others to pay it forward too. Listed below are some of the wonderful organizations with whom we’ve worked and supported. You can link to any one of them to lend your support.

GIVING SHELTER

PORTLAND REAL ESTATE OWNERS DONATE SPACE FOR NEW HOMELESS SHELTER

Jordan and his father Barry Menashe donated part of a building they own to be used as a homeless shelter in downtown Portland. The issue of homelessness is important to Barry Menashe who lost two siblings, who suffered from homelessness and mental illness.

THE BIG GIVEAWAY

GROCERY GIFT CARD GIVEAWAY HITTING PORTLAND-AREA STREETS, COURTESY OF LOCAL BUSINESSMAN

Not the first time Menashe has done a big giveaway. In 2011, Barry Menashe handed out new gloves, hats, socks and blankets to anyone who wanted them. Now, he’s handing out New Seasons gift cards at random, saying: “I think people need to step up and help where they can. We have the resources.”
