A working Ranch that restores purpose and spirit to veterans of all ages and eras.

For the past five years COVR has operated a 19-acre working farm and engaged hundreds of veterans of different ages and eras in peer support and agriculture-related activities, or “agri-therapy”. COVR has built community and camaraderie among veterans in Central Oregon and around the state. The Ranch helps veterans find a sense of belonging and purpose through meaningful interactions, team projects, education, growing plants and caring for animals. During the past five years we have offered veterans and community members workshops on Post-Traumatic Stress, Suicide Prevention, and Non-Violent Communication. The Ranch has become a hub for veterans to meet and connect; a safe space to build relationships with peers as well as civilian community members. Several veterans have stated that the Ranch “saved their lives,” and many return during time of personal crisis because of the trust and sense of community the Ranch provides.

Children's Cancer Association

We deliver Joy-centric programs that create immediate and measurable improvement to the mental and emotional wellness of young patients.

For 25 years, we’ve been doing just that—delivering programs to help young patients find their Joy—one song, one friendship, one breath of ocean air at a time. Because when a child experiences Joy, their emotional well-being is positively impacted.

Simply put: Joy makes sick kids feel better.

Family Meal PDX

Family Meal, a nonprofit founded in 2019 and 100% volunteer-run, provides financial relief to Oregon’s food service and agricultural workers in a medical debt crisis.

It is tough to imagine the profound impact that the recent restaurant closures across the state will have. The financial implications of lost wages for those living paycheck to paycheck will have lasting consequences. The production, processing and distribution businesses that serve restaurants will be deeply affected.

The Giving Plate

“Feeding the hungry today with compassion & hospitality.”

The Giving Plate opened its doors in April 2010 through the efforts of Gary & Debra Kelso. Their Christ-centered passion was to serve the community during a poor economic time where many were struggling to make ends meet.  Initially, they thought helping 500 families have food on their table would be amazing, but within months from opening they had registered that 500th family and they began to realize the need was much bigger than they ever imagined. The community need for food continued to rise at an astounding rate, and has not let up.  At The Giving Plate we purpose to serve our guests with compassion and hospitality, and we are intentional in our efforts to remove the “clinical experience” of entering a food bank.
