CityTeam is a wonderful faith-based non-profit organization that's located just East of the Willamette River in downtown Portland, which provides programs and resources to serve people who need various types of help. Programs include hot meals, free groceries, emergency shelter, housing and restorative programs, learning and career help, spiritual growth, and so much more.  CityTeam contacted Catalyst for assistance with giving it's main gathering area a much-needed facelift.



CityTeam operates an EMERGENCY SHELTER serving up to 58 men per night with a warm place to sleep, a hot meal, a hot shower, clothing, and hygiene supplies.  These men spend a lot of time in the large 70'x35' room, and the space felt utilitarian, cold, and unremarkable.  CityTeam covered the cost of materials & supplies, and Catalyst provided oversight and volunteer management.  Our team of 26 volunteers (104 total hours) successfully painted the walls, doors, and columns with a new color scheme that is attractive and stimulating.  It looks great!
