Charitable Work and Projects

We support local programs and charities with financial donations and in-kind work.  All money given as donations is raised by members at different fundraisers.  We have three Pie and Ice Cream socials each year.  We have two craft bazaars (all items sold are made by or assembled by our members).  We usually do two dinners a year (one for our Scholarship Fund and one for specific causes or organization).

Examples of non-profit organizations we supported financially in the past:

  • South Lincoln Resources – Food Baskets
  • South Lincoln Resources – Emergency Fund
  • Waldport Food Pantry
  • Lincoln County Animal Shelter Medical Fund
  • Yachats Youth & Family Activities Program
  • Yachats Ambulance Fund
  • Yachats Lions Club
  • Lincoln County Children Advocacy Center
  • My Sister’s place
  • Yachats Fireworks Fund

 

We give a Scholarships through Oregon Coast Community College Foundation to students registered in the OCCC Nursing Program.
