www.hoodrivernews.com Hood River News, Saturday, July 18, 2015 A5 Disaster prep talk July 21 Earthquakes have been and will occur in Ore- gon. Are you concerned about being prepared if one should hit Hood River? Do you need some advice on dealing with the heat wave lately? Do you know about all Red Cross’s helpful apps? Come learn how to be prepared for any natural disaster at the Disaster Pre- paredness Presentation. You will learn about how to be prepared for an earth- quake, flood, fire, and other natural disasters, so that you will never be caught un- prepared or uninformed about what to do next. This Disaster Prepared- ness Presentation is pre- sented by Andrea Smith an Oregon State Service Corps (OSSC) AmeriCorps volun- teer at the History Museum of Hood River County. The OSSC is sponsored by the American Red Cross who created the Disaster Pre- paredness Presentation. The presentation will be hosted by the Hood River County Library and take place at 1 p.m. on July 21. The presentation will last about 30 minutes and light snacks will be provided. United Way of the Gorge awards grant recipients Non-profits to be recognized July 23 This year the United Way of the Columbia Gorge (UWCG) will allocate funding to 35 local non-profit programs. A team of 60-plus Gorge volunteers raised $205,000 which will now be channeled directly to a di- verse group of human service agencies serving Hood River, Klickitat, Sherman, Skamania and Wasco counties. Many local non-profit agen- cies need financial support be- yond their own annual fundraising efforts. Organiza- tions such as SMART, FISH Food Bank, Helping Hands Against Violence and CASA, rely on these extra funds from the United Way, which often times mean the difference be- tween being able to provide, rather than deny, children and adults the services they des- perately need. “Our local United Way is ex- traordinary in that it is fueled by local volunteers helping local people,” said Jeff Heater, UWCG Board Member. “Our process is really about uniting people and funds to make a real impact in our communi- ty.” Each non-profit agency that applied for funding was thor- oughly screened, interviewed and selected by a volunteer committee of Columbia Gorge residents representing the five counties. The 35 selected pro- grams will be honored at the annual United Way Agency Social on July 23 at the Best Western PLUS Hood River Inn. A list of 2015 funded agen- cies is included below. For information on becom- ing a volunteer, or donating to the United Way of the Colum- bia Gorge, contact the local of- fice at (541) 386-6100 or PO Box 2, Hood River, OR; or visit their website at www.united- waycolumbiagorge.org. A Community “Wish List” for volunteer and in-kind dona- tion needs within United Way funded agencies can also be ac- cessed on the website. 2015 Partner Agencies: American Red Cross – Dis- aster Relief; Backpacks for Kids; Gorge CASA; Columbia Gorge Children’s Advocacy Center; Emergency Voucher Program; Families First/Parenting Education – The Next Door; First Book; FISH Food Bank; Habitat for Humanity; HAVEN; Heart of Hospice Foundation; Helping Hands Against Violence; Hood River County Christmas Pro- ject- Meal Program; Hood River County Disaster Re- sponse Program; HRVHS On- Campus Mental Health Pro- gram; Oregon Trail Transi- tional Housing Program – NDI; Klickitat County Senior Services; Mentors for Success – The Next Door; NAMI – Ska- mania County; New Hope Farms; Opportunity Connec- tions; Pioneer Potlatch; RAICES – The Next Door; Ska- mania County Council on Do- mestic Violence and Sexual Assault; Skamania County Se- nior Services – Food & Trans- portation; Skamania Klickitat Community Network; St. Francis House; SMART – Wasco, Sherman and Hood River Counties; The Dalles Community Meal; The Dalles Meals on Wheels; Volunteer Services - Klickitat Co.; WINGS; WGAP Community Youth Center; WGAP Klickitat County Food Banks; WGAP Programs for Peaceful Living.

Sue Hukari taught the children American Sign Language to go with the song as Pam Reidl accompanied on ukulele in the church’s Pioneer room. About 40 children attended the week-long ecumenical camp, which emphasizes sustain- ability along with spirituality, and plenty of games and crafts involving scripture as well as the natural world. Pam’s husband, Hel- mut, an entomologist, gave a demonstration involving preserved as well as live insects. The youngsters also toured the Hood River News/Columbia Gorge Press next door. Churches throughout the county are welcoming children and families to summer programs and vacation Bible schools.
