We are honored to announce that our 2023 Community Ambassador Program beneficiary is The Giving Plate, Central Oregon’s largest food pantry. This amazing community resource serves over 3,500 individuals per month who are battling food insecurity. Most of which are our housed neighbors and thousands of children. Please help Pine Mountain Sports in raising funds for this year’s Community Ambassador Program.

“You have been a blessing through these tough economic times. We prefer to do for ourselves, so food banks are not something we have been to often. Your staff and volunteers make it easy and non-judgemental, helpful people. We appreciate your care and compassion” – Guest of The Giving Plate

The Giving Plate’s Story

The Giving Plate opened its doors in April 2010 through the efforts of Gary & Debra Kelso. Their Christ-centered passion was to serve the community during a poor economic time when many were struggling to make ends meet.  Initially, they thought helping 500 families have food on their table would be amazing, but within months of opening, they had registered that 500th family, and they began to realize the need was much bigger than they ever imagined. The community’s need for food continued to rise at an astounding rate and has not let up.  At The Giving Plate, we purpose to serve our guests with compassion and hospitality, and we are intentional in our efforts to remove the “clinical experience” of entering a food bank.

If you could win any bike that we have at Pine Mountain Sports, what bike would that be?

Pine Mountain Sports is helping to raise money for Furnish Hope by providing one lucky raffle winner with any bike we offer with a value of up to $6,000! Choose any single, available bike from Trek, Juliana, or Santa Cruz valued up to $6,000! In addition, Pine Mountain Sports will also provide the winner with $1000 of in-store credit! You can spend that $1000 at Pine Mountain Sports on anything we offer.

The AnyBikeYouWant Raffle is part of the fundraising efforts of the Pine Mountain Sports Community Ambassador Program, and every dollar collected from this raffle goes directly to Furnish Hope.

Bedding, a lamp to read by, cookware and dishes to prepare and serve a meal, a vacuum, or even a bunkbed. These are the often missed ingredients that can make the difference when a struggling, unhoused family needs to get out of a difficult situation and into a stable, comforting, and long-term home. Every year, Furnish Hope personally delivers these items and a sense of belonging and security for hundreds of families in need throughout our Central Oregon community.

Pine Mountain Sports is partnering with Furnish Hope for our 2022 Community Ambassador Program!

Furnish Hope started with a simple vision – where marginalized families in our community that need housing and shelter would also receive an actual bed to sleep in and a kitchen table to gather around. Now, a team of Bend-based volunteers, donors, businesses and agency partners are helping to create stability and a sense of belonging by providing the essentials that make a home…
