Partnering to help Keep Portland Warm for the Holidays

PORTLAND, Ore. - Nov. 27, 2018 - PRLog -- The holidays are officially upon us and Ankrom Moisan Architects and Lorentz Bruun Construction are proud to collaborate with local non-profit REACH Community Development to launch "Warm for the Holidays." This holiday drive is focused on collecting winter clothing and bedding for those in need and most vulnerable to the cold, wet, Pacific Northwest winters.  Join us in making the holidays a bit brighter—and warmer—for hundreds of families and individuals living at REACH.

"At Lorentz Bruun Construction, we want to be a responsible business that meets the highest standards of ethics and professionalism. We are proactive on initiatives that promote human rights, help communities and protect our natural environment." – Erik Bruun, Principal at Lorentz Bruun Construction.

The impact of these donations makes a significant difference in the life of someone in need. "This time of year can be really stressful for folks. We appreciate Lorentz Bruun Construction and Ankrom Moisan Architects for spearheading Warm for the Holidays," says REACH Director of Programs, Elise Enochian.  "When community partners and neighbors come together to support each other and make sure we all thrive—now that's the spirit of the holiday season."

Our combined aim is to provide warmth for the holidays for as many families as possible and we are asking the public for their support. In an effort to make the process of donating as convenient as possible, both Lorentz Bruun Construction and Ankrom Moisan Architects will serve as collection points for anyone looking to donate.
