Colloqate partnered with De Rose Community Bridge and Holistic Wellness (DRB) for the redesign of their Community Kitchen, bringing the project to Construction Documentation level of completion. Colloqate also supported fundraising, helping to secure an additional $300k in grant funds from the City of Portland to support this vision.

DRB supports a diverse population of immigrants and refugees with roots in Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Senegal, Nigeria, Ghana, Burmese, Rohingya, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Spanish, Haiti, and Ethiopia, to name a few, as well as people experiencing homelessness, by providing food, mental health services, and youth mentorship. They seek to holistically address our community's challenges, particularly mental health problems, hunger, and poverty.
