Upcoming Events
Throughout the year, Peninsula Poverty Response hosts events that directly support individuals and families in need across the Long Beach Peninsula. From resource fairs and mobile outreach to propane events and health services, these gatherings offer connection, relief, and real solutions. They’re not just events—they’re lifelines. Each one helps break down barriers and brings our community closer together. Your donation helps make these events possible, ensuring we can continue showing up for our neighbors when they need us most.
PPR meetings are open to local residents. Meetings are on the second Thursday of every month, 2:00 PM, South Pacific County Annex Large Conference Room (7016 Sandridge Rd.). Please join us!

Change for Community @
Astoria Co+op
Peninsula Poverty Response was honored to be a recipient of Astoria Co-op’s Change for Community program, a monthly initiative that supports local nonprofits through small acts of generosity at the register. Throughout the month, Astoria Co-op invited shoppers to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar. The proceeds then benefited PPR’s work on the Long Beach Peninsula.
Thanks to the kindness of the co-op community, this partnership helped raise vital funds to support programs like The Hub, Laundry Love, and Project Community Connect. Every bit of change added up to meaningful impact, helping us continue providing essential resources, connection, and support to neighbors facing hardship. We are deeply grateful to Astoria Co-op and every one of their shoppers who rounded up to make a difference.
Adult Prom Fundraiser
Our Enchantment Under the Sea Adult Prom was a joyful and memorable evening filled with dancing, laughter, and community spirit—all in support of the vital work Peninsula Poverty Response does year-round. Guests enjoyed music from our DJ, delicious hors d’oeuvres, games, raffles, photos, and the crowning of Prom Royalty. Thanks to the incredible turnout and generosity of attendees, this fundraiser helped strengthen our ability to provide essential programs like The Hub, Laundry Love, and Project Community Connect. It was a night of fun with a meaningful purpose, and we’re grateful to everyone who helped make it such a success.
Propane Event
Our November Propane Event was an incredible success and a powerful demonstration of what community support can achieve. Thanks to generous donations and our partnership with Active Enterprises, we were able to provide 1,537.9 gallons of propane to 134 families across the Long Beach Peninsula—helping them stay warm, safe, and supported as colder weather arrives. Active Enterprises graciously staffed the event, pumping propane throughout the day and ensuring everything ran smoothly. This event highlights just how essential these services are for our neighbors facing financial hardship, and we’re deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to making it possible.
In addition to our propane events designed to provide essential heating and cooking fuel assistance, Peninsula Poverty Response is committed to ensuring community safety. We also offer a vital service to exchange unsafe or deteriorating propane tanks for safe, functional ones. Furthermore, we can replace out-of-code valves on existing tanks, making sure your equipment complies with current safety regulations and operates reliably. These efforts are part of our dedication to providing low-barrier, immediate assistance while prioritizing the well-being of our community members.
