Episode 2 - PDX Saints Love

🎙️ The Schmidt Show PDX: When the City Turns Its Back – A Conversation with Saints Love PDX

In this week’s episode of The Schmidt Show PDX, we sit down with Kristle Delihanty, Executive Director of PDX Saints Love — a grassroots, community-rooted organization providing food, shelter, and critical support to unhoused Portlanders.

But this episode goes deeper than just highlighting their incredible work. It’s a critical moment for the organization’s survival.

📉 Just days ago, OPB reported that PDX Saints Love was excluded from the City of Portland’s recent Request for Proposals (RFP) — a funding decision that could shut down their vital day center. This space serves as a refuge for Portlanders who have nowhere else to go. The decision raises serious questions about whose work gets valued and why.

💬 Kristle opens up about her personal journey, how Saints Love became what it is today, and what all of us can do to help.

🧡 If you care about justice, compassion, and accountability, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
