Sisters has been notified that our organization is on Oregon Business Magazine's 2009list of the 100 Best Nonprofits to Work For in Oregon. The rankings were based on the confidential input of employees who answered 60 questions about workplace satisfaction such as benefits, management, trust, work environment and development.

Sisters received the Spirit of Portland Award as one of two top non-profits.

Sisters Of The Road was named a 2009 Oregon Food Bank Agency Excellence Award winner. The award came with a $500 prize to support the many warm, nutritious meals served in our Cafe each day.
Voices from the Street was named a Silver Medal Winner for the 2008 Nautilus Book Award. It was also nominated for the Robert F. Kennedy book award and the C. Wright Mills book award.

Our Personalist Center (PC), designed by Communitecture, won a first-place Root Award in the 'Work:Entry' category from Portland Spaces magazine.
We completed another year in the Cafe with three 100% scores on health inspections by the Multnomah County Health Department - our second consecutive year of all 100%s!

The full list of accomplishments for 2008-09 is posted here on our website!
