Through a generous grant, SVDP La Pine, a vital player in the fight against hunger and poverty, will now be equipped with a brand-new delivery truck, bolstering their efforts to serve the community’s most vulnerable.
The Ford Family Foundation, a beacon of philanthropy headquartered in Roseburg, Oregon, has long been dedicated to uplifting rural communities across Oregon and Siskiyou County, California. Their commitment to fostering resilience and opportunity shines brightly through investments in grants, scholarships, and community-building initiatives. By partnering with organizations like SVDP La Pine, they actively create the conditions for individuals to thrive, mainly focusing on providing essential support to children and families.
At the heart of this collaborative effort lies SVDP La Pine’s unwavering mission: to provide sustenance to the hungry, solace to the weary, and support to those navigating the complexities of poverty, addiction, and abuse. Their vision transcends mere provision; they aim to cultivate a connected and compassionate community where individuals receive aid and the tools and encouragement needed to reclaim agency over their lives. SVDP La Pine doesn’t just address immediate needs; it champions a holistic approach centered on compassion-driven social services and education. Empowering individuals with a “hand up” rather than a handout fosters a sense of accountability and self-reliance, empowering community members to envision and realize the life they dream of.
