From their website:
Amy Sacks and Karli Covington, the founders
of The Pixie Project are committed to changing the image of a "rescue" or shelter
animal. While some animals come to the Pixie Project seeking medical or behavioral
attention not accessible in a typical shelter, many Pixie Project "kids" are professionally
trained, family friendly pets whose circumstances have left them in need of a new
home. We were founded on the the belief that no one rescue or shelter can
do it all. We are here in support of the underfunded, understaffed and overcrowded
facilities found in every community.
From their website:
Sisters Of The Road exists to build authentic
relationships and alleviate the hunger of isolation in an atmosphere of nonviolence
and gentle personalism that nurtures the whole individual, while seeking systemic
solutions that reach the roots of homelessness and poverty to end them forever.

CHAP has an art factory housed in NW Portland
where kids make up their own rules and other programs occur in Portland area Children's
hospitals.
From their website:
Children’s Healing Art Project (CHAP)
offers one-on-one classes for children in isolation and group classes in playrooms,
lobbies and waiting rooms. CHAP classes include drawing, painting, sculpture, computer
animation, beading, mask making and jewelry. CHAP classes offer a place where nervous
energy is transformed into creative energy. Our common language is based in the
creative process of making art, which crosses all gender, age, and cultural, religious
and ethnic boundaries. CHAP classes offer an art experience that engages and inspires
-- where children can be seen for their artistic talents and not for their diseases,
diagnoses or disabilities. Watch this cool video!
We believe in these organizations and we are
so excited to affiliate Modifed Style Portland with each of them!
