    MISSION STATEMENT

    The Bend Food Project is an all volunteer organization dedicated to the year round collection of non-perishable foods – one green bag at a time.

     • We are looking for volunteers to grow our organization. • Become a Neighborhood Coordinator and build a neighborhood of active food donors. Neighborhood Coordinators collect and deliver filled green bags once every two months. • Become a food donor. Fill a Bend Food Project green bag once every two months • Monetary donations are welcome and will be used to buy green bags.

    MISSION STATEMENT

     To empower students with an exemplary 21st century education by challenging them to excel academically and socially through integrated teaching with a global focus. Bend International School (BIS) opened its doors in the Fall of 2015 as a new K-8 charter school dedicated to providing a unique education experience for Bend students—one that embraces diversity, promotes self-expression, and utilizes the best of dierent learning tools from around the globe: Singapore Math, New Zealand Writing, bi-lingual teachers and a dual-language approach that oers core classes in English with electives in Spanish! We presently serve 166 students from all across the community (and will expand next year to our cap of 195 students). Our student body purposely has a higher than average number of students who qualify for Free & Reduced lunch and/or have Special Needs. To date, we have experienced phenomenal student and parent engagement, and success in Reading, Math and Science.

    WHAT CAN YOUR DONATIONS DO?

     As a charter school, we are publically funded (i.e. our students do not pay tuition), but we don’t get the full amount as other district schools so we need to raise funds to balance our budget. Funds are needed to:

    • Help cover additional facility expenses (yes, we have to pay our lease and utilities)

    • Purchase art and music supplies to ensure a well-rounded curriculum

    • Subsidize travel to/from our “sister school” in Tlaquepaque Mexico

    • Keep costs low on our international lunch program where we feature a different ethnic food every day (Italian, Mexican, Indian, etc.)

    MISSION STATEMENT

    Every sunrise brings challenges to be met. BrightSide Animal Center faces each new day with optimism, focusing on the possibilities for every animal in our care. BrightSide needs your help.

BrightSide is a high-save shelter dedicated to providing sheltering, placement and prevention services to reduce animal homelessness and unnecessary euthanasia. We believe that every animal that enters through our back receiving door deserves the chance to leave through our front door with a secure future.
