Thank you for your support during our initial Give Guide campaign! With your help we have secured more than $10,000 in donations in the first week! If you were able to join us for the Bienestar Conexion event on November 2, thank you! The supportive energy to help Bienestar get back to our roots to build affordable housing for low-income Oregonians was deeply felt. Our quest to reach $100,000 during this giving season is being made possible thanks to you, Esperanza Spalding, and all of our generous sponsors.

The Give Guide will continue until the end of 2017. If you did not get a chance to complete your donation, or if you would like to share this opportunity to help get Bienestar back into the game of building affordable housing, please visit this link: www.giveguide.org/#bienestar

Those who give $50 or more will be entered to win a copy of the SOLDOUT album by our ambassador Esperanza Spalding. There are also other Big Give days hosted by Willamette Week. Follow along on our Facebook page for your chance to win a $500 Powells Books gift certificate, a new bike, vacations, and more.

Here are some photos from Conexion–thanks to all the staff who made it possible and the people who attended and generously gave to Bienestar.
