Our Mission
The Mission of the Good Shepherd
Community Health Foundation is to enhance the quality of life and general
health of residents living in the West Umatilla and Morrow County
communities.
Resources are provided to worthy
projects and individuals best illustrating Foundation ideals and
fulfilling the health needs of our designated region.
The Good Shepherd Community Health Foundation is
a grass roots, philanthropic organization dedicated
to making the northeast Oregon region a healthier, safer, happier, even more
stimulating place to live and raise our families.
Our Foundation board is made up of business and private
people from various backgrounds that are interested in the same things you are
-- including developing the quality of life in this region. Why not join
with us by making a tax-deductible donation that will make a positive impact
on you and the lives of many others in our community? Just click on the
"Contrubution/Pledge" button on the left of this page, and follow the
instructions.
The Good Shepherd Community Health Foundation was
formed in February 1995 as an agent of change.
We strongly encourage local residents to give of
themselves in support of organizations and causes that will promote the health
and well being of our community. Each year the Foundation recognizes
such an individual or couple with “The Spirit of Christmas Award.”
Past recipients of this award are Rev. John Thurlow, Dennis and Cathy Barnett,
Mel and Bonnie Phillips, Ric and Karen Sherman, Pat Wahner, Bill Whetzler, MilRoy Meyer,
Mark Jones DMD, Alice Brewington-Dyer, Rod and Karen Bragato
and Linda Gilleese, Dawn Large and in 2006 Dr. Marvin John and Patty Echols.
