Here are last years Volunteer Statistics for our FOOD BANK, FRESH ALLIANCE, and Woodlot
Neighbors Together gives away food and emergency firewood as well as supports the numerous efforts of our volunteers. One of our goals is to provide a place for people to serve in whatever capacity they can because giving is so important. We thought it would be a good idea to share the statistics this year because it may prompt you to reach out and give or volunteer in some way.
Neighbors Together….depends on our volunteers and your support!
Neighbors Together depends on the gracious donations of our community, our dedicated volunteers and is directly supported by 12 member churches in the La Grande, Oregon area. Until 2019, our primary corporate grant was from United Way but their funding was greatly reduced in 2019. We hope to gain a variety of support from new sponsors this year.
Our food costs have gone up and we are serving more people after Covid.
We are pleased to announce last year’s volunteer statistics for our missions.
