From the SnowCap Web site, www.snowcap.org:
“In the mid 1960s, the basic life needs of many in East Multnomah County were not being met by any agency or organization. About 25 churches stepped in to help fill the void felt by so many residents. SnowCap – Suburban Neighborhoods Operation Witness Community Action Program – was born on Jan. 16, 1967.”
“The purpose of SnowCap was to discover the real needs in the area, communicate them, and assist residents, church and community leaders to meet those needs individually and cooperatively. The organization adopted a philosophy that ‘SnowCap will cross lines of race, religion, national origin and economic status, hoping to coordinate and act as barometer, correcting conditions which call for improvement.’”
