Mission Statement

To respond with compassion and respect to request from chronically ill and elderly senior citizens who need help with ordinary chores in order to maintain their self-esteem and independence.

Sherwood Faith in Action holds 5th Annual Oregon’s Run for the Roses. 

This June, runners and walkers participated in the 5th Annual Oregon’s Run for the Roses.  Oregon’s Run for the Roses, an officially sanctioned Portland Rose Festival event, is a fundraiser for Sherwood Education Foundation, Faith in Action and the Sherwood Senior Center. 

Sherwood Faith in Action is a non-profit organization that assists senior citizens in the Sherwood, King City and Tualatin area.  Volunteers assist seniors with a variety of services, helping them continue an independent lifestyle.  Part of a national program, Sherwood Faith in Action alone helps more than 100 people annually. 

The Oregon Run for the Roses this year was held on June 1st, beginning at Sherwood High School.  The route takes participants along the Cedar Creek Trail, followed with festivities and entertainment at the end.  Runners are professionally timed and results are posted on the internet along with photos of winners. 

Runners and walkers can register for next year's Run online at  www.oregonsrunfotheroses.com.
