This wonderful event that the (TEC) Tillamook Ecumenical Churches (a group of local Churches of different denomination from throughout the county) has organized to help support the programs at CARE Inc. TEC has long supported CARE Inc. in it’s mission to provide a wide array of services for people in crisis and others who struggle to make ends meet. In February 2024, due to staffing issues, TEC handed over their services to CARE and now helps to raise funds to support the fund and programs.Forming a new group called Crossroads, Together in Service, Crossroads have joined CARE in a fundraiser for next Saturday, August 24th, 2024 A good Old Fashioned Family Barbeque! And we would like to invite YOU!
Jeff Blackford, executive director of CARE, will be giving an update on CARE’s progress on the shelter project and what new programs being developed. If you are not able to attend, please consider sending a donation to: CARE Inc., 2310 1st Suite 2, Tillamook, OR 97141
“I want to thank each and everyone of you for your amazing support over the years and your continued support!” said Blackford. “We have made some incredible strides to combat poverty in Tillamook County and to help those who are often unseen. With your help and support, we will be able to shelter and house more people this fall and winter than ever before, help people that are dealing with addiction and mental health related issues find supports. It is your support that makes the difference of a roof over someone’s head or food in someone’s belly. You make a difference. Thank you for your generosity and your continued support of life saving and changing supports.”
