🎁In the last year, CHS provided 12,227 nights of shelter to survivors and their children—three times as many nights of shelter than the same time last year.
🎁The need for shelter and other resources continues to grow, and CHS is working hard to meet the needs of some of the most vulnerable families in our community.
🎁Your support helps us provide shelter, clothes, food, and everything else a family needs to have a safe and stable home. No matter how big or small, your gift makes an incredible impact on the lives of survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
🎁Thank you for partnering with us to give each and every survivor we serve 𝙖 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙮. ❤️🎁💜

Yesterday was a good day! I'm honored to be a part of something so wonderful as a member of the Board of Directors & a victims advocate for the Center for Hope & Safety.
Yesterday was such a beautiful Groundbreaking Ceremony for HOPE PLAZA, another dream come true for the Center!
Hope Plaza will offer 20 units of housing and business space which will offer resources and job training for survivors of sexual & domestic violence.
When a victim has taken the first, most important step to safety, which is to seek help...they will tell you, housing and having the tools to rebuild their life is one of the biggest barriers they face.
Hope Plaza will provide survivors the opportunity to focus on healing and starting over without the financial burden.
A project near and dear to my heart, I can't wait to see the progress of Hope Plaza, but more importantly, I cannot wait to watch it serve our community in such an important way!

🍒There are two main types of cherries produced in the United States: sweet cherries and tart cherries. Oregon is currently the third highest producer of sweet cherries in the nation, supplying 11 percent of the U.S. market. The warm days and cool nights in the Pacific Northwest make for an ideal growing season.
I wish I wasn't allergic to cherries!

Educating youth in the agriculture industry is HUGE in keeping the industry going, as well as carrying on the legacy of family owned farms.
The Oregon Farm Bureau is a great resource for such a thing! Take a look at some of their youth programs:
👩‍🌾Young Farmers & Ranchers Program: YF&R is a group within Farm Bureau specifically for agriculture producers between the ages of 16 and 35. The focus is on improving leadership skills, networking, agriculture advocacy, travel — and having fun!
👨‍🌾OFB Scholarships: At the state and county level, Farm Bureau awards about $80,000 worth of scholarships to students every year. 🚜

🌱🍺HOPS!!!
Oregon is currently the second largest hop producing state in the United States!
FUN FACTS:
🌱In the PNW, mature hop yards typically yield 2,000 pounds of dried hop cones per acre
🍺Hops originated in Germany
🌱Oregon, Washington and Idaho grow 99% of the hops in the United States
🌱Only female hop plants are used in production because they produce the cone, which is valuable in making beer
🍺It takes about three years for a hop plant to reach full maturity
🌱Hops are usually propagated from rhizome cuttings
🍺Oregon hops can be found in brew kettles throughout the world
