Helping Our Community

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Thank you to all who have given food, money, your time, and presents to our North Tillamook County Non-Profits. Makes you feel good to help others. Just a reminder to those of you who want to help our community, I’ll mention names and addresses again. I know getting out for some of us is hard, but with these addresses you can make life easy and send a check. Thanks for being a good neighbor!

We are starting up in the north end of Tillamook County today. You remember Nehalem Bay Community Services (NBCS) is the organization which was run under the umbrella of the Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church. It includes Nehalem Senior Lunches, CHILD Program, and the Nehalem Bay Food Pantry. You may note on your check if you want your donation to go to just one of these programs or split between all three. The CHILD Program is currently collecting items for children’s Christmas presents. New clothing and new toys for kids are being collected at the Methodist Church in Nehalem. You will find tags locally at Nehalem Lumber, Bayway Tavern, Manzanita Grocery & Deli (who also has a donation jar), the U.S. Bank and First Security Bank.

The North County Food Bank (NCFB) is in Wheeler. NCFB distributes food and clothing on Tuesdays. If you have extra canned foods or gently used and warm clothing for both adults and children, this is a good place to leave them. They will be busy this next week as they are distributing Thanksgiving dinners to people. To support them year around it is good to send them what you can each month. The address is NCFB, PO Box 162, Wheeler, Oregon 97147.

Rockaway Beach Lions Club provides a basket of food to families and seniors at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Their contact information is Rockaway Beach Lions, PO Box 611, Rockaway Beach, Oregon 97136.

Meals for Seniors, also in Rockaway Beach, has a meal site and delivers food to people who cannot make it to the site. Donations to this organization can be made to Meals for Seniors, Inc., PO Box 852, Rockaway Beach, Oregon 97136.

Artists & Crafters Wanted

Submitted By: tolovanaartscolony@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hello BBQ- We’re seeking a few more artists and crafters to add to our Holiday Bazaar, coming the first two weekends in December.

In short: our nonprofit, the Tolovana Arts Colony, is preparing to run our 9th annual Holiday Bazaar in Cannon Beach.

Our event is a little different than the usual Holiday sales events–it’s more of a pop-up gallery. Rather than sitting behind your work at a table all day, you simply drop off your work, we handle all sales and pay you afterward.

There is no cost to exhibit, but the Arts Colony keeps 25% of sales; you keep 75%.

If you are a maker of arts, crafts, non-perishable/packaged foods, home goods, clothing or something else cool we haven’t even thought of, please email us at tolovanaartscolony@gmail.com (or call 541-215-4445) and let’s see if you’re a fit to add to this very successful bazaar.

*The fine print: as space is limited, we’re looking for styles of arts and crafts different to things than we already have. For example, if we have a shoe-maker already lined up, we not have room for another shoe-maker who creates a similar shoe style.

Tillamook County Giving Guide in mailboxes any day

Submitted By: barbaraandchuck@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
The 8th annual Tillamook County Giving Guide will be in all Tillamook County mail boxes any day now! (Got mine today!) Additional copies will be available at select locations and it will be online at the Tillamook County Pioneer.

The Guide features profiles of 40 Tillamook County organizations and information about 130 organizations providing services, resources and support that improve the quality of life for everyone in our community.

The Giving Guide is produced by Fulcrum Community Resources and the Tillamook County Pioneer to provide information and encouragement to support with your dollars and your time, these vitally important organizations.

On the cover this year is a photo by Gary Seelig of a double rainbow, a long time symbol of promise—a promise that our stalwart organizations that help so many people and our earthly home will continue to be strong and robust in the challenging times ahead. Your generosity is needed and appreciated more than ever! Each hour and dollar given is precious and important and brightens our rainbow of promise.

By making your year-end giving donations locally, you not only keep your money circulating here at home, you are adding your care, compassion and hope so our organizations can function powerfully. The time that you give volunteering adds another rich layer of care, compassion and hope.

Our organizations impact all aspects of our lives, from health and wellness, sustainability, environmental stewardship, conservation, food security, housing, universal access, women’s issues, children’s well-being, animal welfare, education, safety, disaster relief, community preparedness, and arts and culture. They create a strong, vibrant and resilient community. They collaborate and form partnerships which build a culture of efficiency, cooperation and communication. They provide jobs, a trained and inclusive workforce, volunteer opportunities, internships, and training. They give us opportunities to connect, heal, play and hope. And they need our support to continue to make a difference!

Thank you to all those who have donated, discovered and volunteered in past years.

And let’s all give what we can this year.
