COMMUNITY A4 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2020 Workshop highlights succession planning for farm owners Made to Thrive cashes in big HERMISTON HERALD A recent Hermiston Chamber of Commerce business luncheon was capped off with a presen- tation to Made to Thrive. The Hermiston-based nonprofi t organization received a $20,000 grant on behalf of the Ward Family Fund through the Oregon Community Foundation. Kriss Dammeyer, founder and exec- utive director of Made to Thrive, received notifi - cation of the award in November. However, she had to keep a lid on her excitement until the offi - cial check presentation. “This grant is a huge boost to move our mis- sion forward and expand in the necessary ways to keep up with the demand and referrals we receive,” Dammeyer said about receiving the grant. “We needed this. Our children needed this!” Founded in 2014, Made to Thrive provides support to help vulnerable youths, including those at risk of academic failure, expulsion, crim- inal justice system involvement, and/or abuse or neglect. The organization facilitates opportuni- ties for targeted youths to engage in sports, music programs, art classes, dance and theater groups, as well as adventure activities and outings. Also, as needed, youths are paired with tutors or trained mentors to provide additional support. For more information about Made to Thrive, contact Dammeyer at 541-571-6169, kriss@ madetothrive.org or visit www.madetothrive.org.
