Heartland Humane Society
A perennial favorite of ours, and the place where we have found many of our animal soulmates over the years, Heartland Humane Society provides a host of services to ensure the best care for our furry (and sometimes not so furry!) friends. As a non-profit, they rely on donations to maintain programs like a pet food bank, emergency & safe housing, affordable adoptions, and humane education. Help us help Heartland care for Benton County’s homeless animals!
SAGE: Starker Arts Garden for Education
The Corvallis Environmental Center’s SAGE garden provides a vital service to our community by working with community volunteers and service-learning groups to farm a one-acre plot of land that benefits underserved populations. All of the food produced is donated to local food banks and soup kitchens – in fact, in 2010 alone over 8,000 pounds of organic produce was distributed to local agencies. We want to do our part to make sure that everybody has access to fresh, healthy, and local eats!
IMPACT: Individualized Movement and Physical Activity for Children Today
Specially trained OSU students provide attention, support, and encouragement for each participant in this unique two-month program, designed to improve the motor fitness skills of youth with special needs. Established in 1982, this community service is directed by OSU faculty and doctoral students in the nationally recognized and respected Movement Studies in Disability program. Highly individualized programs help more than 80 youth each year gain skills that build confidence that translates to the classroom, playground, and home life.
Many thanks to everyone who has participated in making this program so successful. If there are local organizations that you'd like us to look into supporting in the future please leave a comment or shoot us an email at revolvement@gmail.com. Cheers!
