In building a regenerative future, we know we need to create networks of resilience to meet community needs. The following organizations are taking steps along the path toward community care, restorative justice, thoughtful reuse, radical abundance, food sovereignty, ecological harmony, and communal knowledge. If you know of organizations that belong on this list, please contact us!

Inspired by permaculture technique and organized for ease of access the community needs page has been organized into five zones, beginning with philosophical alignments toward tending the land, moving to attributes most necessary to access daily for life in the Willamette Valley, and moving outward toward interpersonal groups and other directories.

Inclusion on this list is not an endorsement. All groups and links are already publicly accessible.
