This video and audio podcast brings us back to the early days of our nonprofit—gathering around a bucket fire to share stories of life, personal growth, hope, and perseverance. We are a nonprofit organization rooted in East Portland, working alongside marginalized neighbors to empower individuals and strengthen communities. Through an inclusive range of services and supports, we envision communities that are safe, supportive, and full of opportunity.

I wouldn't trade what I do for anything in the world.

In this episode, Caleb talks with the beloved Jerry, around a bucket fire. Jerry is a lead on our Showers & Hygiene team and is one of the realest people you will ever meet.

Jerry's roots are in Southeast Portland. He grew up on the same streets that he was later living unhoused. About 30 years ago, he also worked at a place that was called Bob's Ski Rental and Equipment located at 14625 SE Stark - the building that is now Cultivate Initiatives' Workforce Hub.
Jerry has had quite the life and is grateful now to be in a position where he is helping others.
