Providing Help. Creating Hope Since 1933.

Kaleen Deatherage will remain CEO of Catholic Charities of Oregon at least through 2027, ensuring continuity as the agency strengthens its finances and sharpens its mission focus. Over the past year, she has streamlined operations and reaffirmed a compassionate, service-first approach.

As part of a routine transition, the Board elected Deborah Gentzen as Board Chair, succeeding Jeff Yandle to help guide this next chapter. Together, Deatherage, Gentzen and the Board emphasize transparency, stewardship and services, accompanying people on the margins with housing, legal support and pathways to stability and hope.
