Chick-fil-A Bend is partnering with Shepherd’s House Ministries for the second year in a row to host a sweet fundraiser throughout January. The restaurant will donate a portion of the proceeds from all Chocolate Chunk Cookie and Brownie sales to support Shepherd’s House’s mission of providing shelter, meals, and life-changing programs to those experiencing homelessness in Central Oregon.

Last year’s fundraiser helped support Shepherd’s House’s Mobile Outreach program called SHARE, which provides essential resources and support directly to individuals who are currently unhoused. This year, all money donated will support the Women and Children Program.

“This January, as we partner with Shepherd’s House Ministries, our focus is on making a meaningful impact on the Bend community,” said Todd Keller, local Owner-Operator of Chick-fil-A Hwy 97 & Robal Road. “Small gestures can make a big difference, which is why we’re inviting our guests to help us create a better tomorrow for those in need.”

The fundraiser will take place throughout the month of January. The community is invited to visit Chick-fil-A in Bend and purchase cookies and brownies to contribute to this important cause.
