Give Guide 2021

Every year, the Source Weekly teams up with local nonprofits to launch a massive giving campaign. Supporting their work is important all year round, but it’s at the end of the year, with holidays upon us and tax time looming, that many people take to donating in earnest.

This year’s Give Guide features 80+ nonprofits, all working hard to support our local community. Read our stories of some of their work below, and then scroll down to learn more about Central Oregon Gives, our annual giving campaign.

A Marked Increase in Need – With more need for services and an increase in the level of violence, Saving Grace has been hard at work during the pandemic

More than Just Child Care – MountainStar Family Relief Nursery offers needed services for families on the margins

Redmond’s First Permanent Shelter Nears Completion – Bethlehem Inn’s Project Turnkey motel conversion has been a community-wide effort
