At Give an Hour, we believe in the power of connection. Our peer support groups offer a safe, judgment-free space where people with shared lived experiences can come together to find strength, understanding, and encouragement.
These virtual groups are person-centered, meet regularly, and are always offered at no cost.
Whether you’re navigating challenges or simply looking for a supportive community, you’re not alone—we’re here, supporting you together.
We offer a Trauma-Informed Peer Support program that’s both evidence-informed and customizable—created specifically for those impacted by trauma. While peer supporters are not licensed mental health professionals, they bring something equally powerful to the table: lived experience, empathy, and a deep understanding of what it means to heal.
Peer support is about giving and receiving encouragement to foster long-term resilience and recovery. Our trained peer supporters provide emotional support, share knowledge, build practical skills, and help connect individuals with helpful resources and communities. Through advocacy, mentorship, and education, they empower others on their journey. Each peer supporter is guided by experienced facilitators, ensuring a supportive and safe space for all involved.

STAND! For Families Free of Violence is committed to promoting safe and strong families. Our approach to eliminating family violence is well-rounded and community-wide. In addition to providing a complete spectrum of prevention, intervention, and treatment programs, we also enlist the efforts of local residents, partners, and institutions, all of whom are striving with us to stop domestic violence and child abuse.
STAND! is a founding member of the Alliance to End Abuse initiative, a cross-sector organization working to help solve domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse. However, we cannot achieve our mission without the help of every individual, every school, every faith community, every neighborhood, and every business.

Double Up Food Bucks Program
Double Up is Oregon’s first statewide incentive program, designed to be convenient for shoppers. The program doubles the value of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits at local farmers markets so shoppers can bring home more fresh fruits and vegetables. Double Up Food Bucks will be offered at more than 75 farmers markets across the state in 2022. The program also provides incentives for SNAP participants purchasing Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares from Oregon farms, and shoppers at several independently-owned rural grocery stores.
Stretch your Food Dollars with Double Up Food Bucks
Double Up Food Bucks allows SNAP shoppers to get DOUBLE the fruits and vegetables at CSA shares, Farmers Markets, Farm Stands, and Grocery Stores across Oregon!
