What is We Are Home?

The We Are Home Film Festival is Thrive Central Oregon's annual story-sharing event. Each year we seek short films centered on a theme that reflects issues we see in our work. We truly believe that stories are essential in bringing our community together and fostering a sense of belonging.

All ticket sales and donations made during the event go straight back into our community. All funds support Thrive's Housing Fund - providing rental and deposit assistance to Central Oregonians.

Sponsorship

Join us in uplifting the voices of those traditionally underrepresented by partnering with Thrive Central Oregon (TCO) as a We Are Home sponsor. Your company’s partnership aligns your mission with ours - fostering support for housing and financial stability in our community.

Your financial contribution to the We Are Home film festival enables 100% of our ticket sales and proceeds from the event to go directly back into our community as housing assistance funding. This crucial funding supports Central Oregonians in accessing safe and sustainable housing through application fees, deposit support and rental assistance.
