Women Before the Lens - A Mercy Corps Event

Mercy Corps has formed a series of partnerships with Portland area organizations in appreciation of Portland's vital role in Mercy Corps' evolution. Our involvement in these events runs the gamut from sponsoring tickets for students, having a table with information and in some cases playing an active role in the program itself. Upcoming events in celebration of our 25-year partnership with the Portland community include:

  • May 20 - July 1 - Art on Alberta presents a Mercy Corps Photo Exhibit "Women Before the Lens: Transformation and Hope from Around the World"
