Hello! We are the Portland Mac and Morris JV communities. Will you help jumpstart our service year with JVC Northwest? By contributing, you join us in our mission to help make the Pacific Northwest a sustainable region where all are treated justly and equitably. Your gift goes into a communal pool which keeps our partner nonprofit fees low and allows us to place Jesuit Volunteers in these communities for years to come.
