Target audience: Food Pantry or Food Bank Executive Director
A strong group of volunteers around Wheeler, Oregon and its surrounding communities keep the North County Food Bank up and running. They provide food, clothing and informational assistance to those in need on the northern Oregon coast.
Jean connected with Mark Roberts, the food bank’s treasurer, in the early summer of 2020 as the impact of COVID-19 was at its height. She learned of their immediate needs as well as their long term plans for a brand new facility to replace their current building which is undersized and in need of extensive repairs.
“Working with Jeannie Majercin has been a delight”, said Roberts, “Jeannie knows her ‘stuff’ – such that she independently researches and prepares much of the necessary paperwork (there is always LOTS). She knows when and to what degree when to get added information and engagement from the nonprofit. AND, it all comes together and works! We have received generous support from applications that Jeannie originated.”
New grant funding opportunities are opening each day as foundations respond to the increased need for revenue. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we are offering to assist your organization by providing research and one emergency funding proposal submission at no charge. Please contact Jean Majercin for assistance with securing grant funds.
