Dine11 Central Oregon and Pandemic Partners are harnessing the generosity of the Bend and Central Oregon communities in order to respond to the needs of wildfire evacuees who have made their way to our area for shelter and relief.

Through donated funds, local restaurants provide meals to those who need it. This allows us to help on so many levels – supporting local restaurants and essential workers while making sure the displaced have access to good meals: a win-win!

In collaboration with the local Red Cross response, this platform offers incredible benefits for organizing and responding effectively together:

• We get to feed wildfire evacuees
• We get to support local restaurants and essential workers
• We get to relieve some of the coordination burdens of the Red Cross
• All donations are tax-deductible

Central Oregon’s energy for generosity and Crowdsourcing Kindness is a hallmark of our community. We know that we are stronger and more resilient when we navigate challenges collectively and collaboratively for the sake of the common good, so that everyone in our community can flourish.
