ABOUT US--OUR COMMUNITY
We’d like to redefine “us” in "About Us.”
Who makes up the “us” in Give a Little?
Our new definition: We’re more than a foundation--we’re a community.
We’re a community made up of, yes, our Board of Directors, Executive Director, Leadership Council, Consultants, and remarkable volunteers.
But at Give a Little we see ourselves as much more, and we want to include all of you who:
Wow! This is a lot of people. You inspire us and keep us going. You live mostly in Yamhill County, but we also receive wonderful support from people living in other counties in Oregon as well as in other states, including Washington, California, Colorado, Hawaii, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Massachusetts, Texas, Michigan, Maine, Montana, and Iowa, and also in Japan.
We cannot thank you enough, and we hope you know how much your contributions matter.
Finally, the hundreds of people who receive our assistance each year are also part of our community. You display positive attitudes in the face of difficulties that could easily overwhelm. You have earned our affection and admiration (please see Testimonials on this website).
If you’re just finding out about “us,” or if you wish to help in some way for the first time, please know that we welcome your participation. See Other ways to help on this website, or contact us, and join our Give a Little community today.
