NeighborImpact has received a $50,000 foundation grant from Meyer Memorial Trust to be used towards its capital campaign "Feed the Need."
The capital campaign goal of $100,000 will be used in the expansion of MeighborImpact emergency food warehouse, which provides food to over 14,000 individuals monthly throughout Central Oregon.
The expansion effort will triple the storage area available for storage of fresh, frozen and dry food.
"This money is a huge gift to the people of Central Oregon who are struggling during these challenging economic times, as well as building the infrastructure for the area's future emergency food needs," said
NeighborImpact, which served the tri-county area, seeks to change the course of each family's future by giving them the tools they need to succeed.
NeighborImpact's tool box includes Head Start, weatherization, home repair, energy and rent assistance, financial skills building, savings programs, assisting parents to find child care, tutoring homeless children, providing emergency and transitional housing to homeless families, home buyer education and feeding the hungry.
