Program Overview

Launched on March 23, 2020, Every Child Oregon developed the My NeighbOR program in response to the COVID-19 pandemic through a partnership with Oregon’s Department of Human Services (DHS). The program is a 36-county emergency response system that connects foster families, youth in foster care, and families of origin involved with child welfare to goods and services from community members.

Every Child’s parent organization is The Contingent, a venture non-profit focused on mentoring, education, scholarships, internships, career development, mobilizing volunteers, and raising up foster families.
