Crook County Foundation invites community to support the 2025 Holiday Partnership
KTVZ
PRINEVILLE, Ore. (KTVZ) – The Crook County Foundation invites community members to participate in the 2025 Holiday Partnership, a countywide initiative that provides food, gifts, and holiday support to families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities.
The program has been a valued tradition in Crook County for nearly 30 years and continues to grow through the generosity and involvement of residents.
In 2024, the Holiday Partnership provided gifts to 564 children and supported over 200 seniors and 42 adults with disabilities. The program also provided food assistance to 364 households, reaching 1,146 people across the community. This effort is made possible by strong community participation, and the Foundation hopes to reach even more families this year.
The application period closed on November 15.
Food Support
“Financial donations are essential to this effort,” said Gwen Carr, Executive Director of the Crook County Foundation. “As the food drive wraps up, monetary support allows us to provide grocery vouchers so families can purchase their holiday meals from local stores. These contributions also strengthen our local food pantry efforts, helping meet the rising need for food support through the end of December.”
“Together we make the holidays brighter for our neighbors,” Carr said. “Every donation reflects the kindness and generosity that define Crook County.”
Gift Collection
Holiday gift trees are located at participating sites throughout Prineville and Powell Butte. Each tree holds tags that represent the holiday wishes of a local child, senior, or adult with disabilities. Community members may take a tag, purchase the requested gift, and return it to the same location by December 15.
