Monetary contributions are also greatly appreciated.

– Hours: Monday – Saturday, 8 am to 4 pm
– Address: 1854 NE Division Street, Bend

Additionally, donations can be delivered to:

The community’s generosity can make a significant difference in the lives of those in need during this challenging time.
