About Us

Maybelle Center believes that no one deserves to live in isolation. We have been building community and relationships with individuals in Portland’s city center for over 25 years. Our 500+ members live in low-income buildings scattered throughout Old Town and Downtown Portland. Most experience poverty and are at-risk for social isolation, which is intensified by mental or physical challenges, addiction, or trauma. Maybelle Center reduces loneliness and isolation by providing meaningful connection through volunteer home visits, our Community Room, individual member support, and housing.
