NeighborImpact’s Mission is to support people and strengthen communities.

Founded in 1985, NeighborImpact is a private not-for-profit organization that serves all of Crook, Deschutes, Jefferson counties, and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. We envision a Central Oregon where residents, regardless of their income status, have hope and optimism and have access to community resources that see them through times of need.

NeighborImpact provides a diversity of services that not only meet basic human needs for food and shelter, but also enrich people’s lives by providing access to increased education, skills, and hope for the future. Our services assist people to become more independent and self-sufficient, recognizing there is a continuum of support that all people need throughout their life.

NeighborImpact is creative, resourceful and flexible in designing services to meet the needs of the community. We do this while maintaining the highest standards of excellence and accountability to donors, clients and the public.
