How we help

COVID-19 has caused a crisis in our community.

In this time of crisis, how do we take care of ourselves and take care of each other?

We are feeding people who need to be fed. We know regional agencies. We know how each serves this community. We can quickly access funds. We rapidly directs resources where they can be best used by those who need them most. We can be trusted to do the job right.

In this time of need, we know how to help.

As a longstanding, nimble local nonprofit, we have rapidly evolved our priorities to be immediately responsive to new community needs formed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

We’ve created 2 Funds to address the fallout of COVID-19 across Central Oregon.

And we’ve funded 44 COVID-19 Partners with $295,000 in emergency relief.

First, we launched our local Central Oregon COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund to deliver immediate emergency help right now to Central Oregonians hardest hit by the fallout of COVID-19.

100% of the donations to the Emergency Response Fund were distributed to community agencies. We did not deduct any administrative fees from donations.

It’s a credo. A mission. A goal. A constant reminder that when we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all. We build the strength of our neighborhoods. We bolster the health of our communities. And we change the lives of those who walk by us every day.
