Charitable foundation awards $10,000 in grants
HERMISTON HERALD
The Greater Hermis-
ton Community Foundation
awarded its fi rst grants last
week, totaling $10,000.
The charitable foun-
dation was established in
2018, gathering donations
from people and businesses
to be used on projects for the
betterment of western Uma-
tilla County communities.
The founders planned to
begin giving out grants from
interest on the fund once it
reached $200,000, which it
did in mid-2019.
After taking applications
in January, the foundation is
awarding grants to six local
nonprofi ts and cities.
“Today is a special day
for the Foundation and all
the donors who have con-
tributed to the endowment
fund,” Greg Harris, presi-
dent of the Greater Herm-
iston Community Founda-
tion, said in a statement.
“With their help, in just over
two years, we are now able
to assist many great proj-
ects in the greater Hermiston
community.”
The grants were:
• Domestic
Violence
Services received $3,500
toward sheltering vic-
tims of domestic vio-
lence, sexual assault and
stalking.
• City of Echo received
$2,500 for a structure
and reader board to
increase awareness of
community
activities
and services.
• Eastern Oregon Mis-
sion received $1,500
in support of Mar-
tha’s House, a Hermis-
FFA plant sale moves online
ton shelter for families
experiencing temporary
homelessness.
• The committee to
rebuild Funland Play-
ground received $1,000
toward rebuilding the
Hermiston playground
that burned down in
2019.
• City of Stanfi eld
received $1,000 to install
an 18-hole disc golf

Pomeroy Ranger
District seeks summer
teen employees
The Pomeroy Ranger
District is still recruiting
four to six students between
the ages of 15 and 18 for
summer employment in the
Youth Conservation Corps
(YCC). The program will
last six to eight weeks and
is expected to start June 28.
Applications are due April
30. The Pomeroy Ranger
District intends to hire a
YCC crew for the summer
but may adjust the program
based on the progression of
the COVID-19 pandemic
and Washington state’s
executive order. If current
stay home orders are still
in effect, the Forest Service
will defer the crew’s start
date until restrictions are
lifted or cancel the program.
Youths are paid the Wash-
ington state minimum wage
rate of $13.50 per hour. No
housing or transportation to
and from Pomeroy Ranger
District is provided.
No previous experi-
ence is required. Work may
consist of noxious weed
removal, fence removal and
construction, recreation and
trail maintenance, fuel mon-
itoring and vegetation sur-
veys on the Pomeroy Ranger
District.
