Portland’s Backpacks for Bellies

09/01/2026

These two amazing young ladies not only spent their own money bidding on our Backpacks for Bellies gift basket at the silent auction at the Red Mill Community Days but then turned around and donated the basket right back to our program! 🥹

What an incredibly generous and thoughtful gesture. It’s moments like this that remind us just how special our community is.

Thank you, Callie & Lainey, for being such kind humans and showing us what generosity looks like! 💕🎒
