“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.”
