Thank you for your interest in the Mercy Corps Action Center in Portland, OR. Considering the impact of COVID‑19 on public spaces and gatherings, we have made the difficult decision to close the Action Center and significantly scale back our public events at this time, effective immediately. When and if it is deemed safe to have team members and visitors return to the Mercy Corps building, we will examine the best use of the Action Center space and how and if we move forward with public events in Portland. Since 2009, it has been an honor to host the Portland community at our headquarters, featuring lectures, panel discussions and other presentations, as well as thousands of youth in workshops exploring global challenges through the lens of a humanitarian organization.
