West Women's Shelter & Children's Shelter
For almost 30 years, The Salvation Army West Women's and Children's Shelter (WWCS) has been serving homeless women and their children in the Portland area. Unfortunately, many of these women and children who are survivors of domestic violence and find themselves at the shelter looking for help and for hope. The shelter is supported by community donations, with additional funding by various government contracts.
