This is a trial run based on community interest, and we'd love to see you stop by, spend some time with us, and help us see what future Sundays could look like.

What is going on at the ERC?
The Evergreen Resiliency Center (ERC) is a community-based space designed to support connection, recovery, and access to resources following trauma. Rather than functioning as a treatment or academic service provider, the ERC serves as a welcoming hub where individuals can find support, explore options, and connect with community partners in a setting that prioritizes safety, dignity, and care.
Whether someone is stopping in for a quiet moment, seeking guidance navigating resources, or participating in an activity hosted by a partner organization, the ERC is designed to meet people where they are and support healing at a sustainable pace.
