A Special Thank You

Dear Community,

Please join me in expressing deep gratitude to Debra and Bruce Harrow, who have supported Carry It Forward over the years in so many ways. Recently, on the eve of being liberated from his body, they requested donations be shared with Carry It Forward, in his memory.

These two extraordinary people have worked for years to bring healthcare, wellness, and emotional peace to our most vulnerable and forgotten neighbors. We are humbled by their tireless and compassionate energy, in the face of numerous obstacles. Their positive impacts in our community continue to ripple, and Bruce’s legacy lives on through those of us he mentored and supported throughout the years. 

Thank you Debra, for carrying your mutual legacy forward in all that you do. We are honored to receive such a meaningful donation from “CotD, Caring of the Debra”, and seek to honor Bruce’s memory with these funds.

Much love and respect,
Arwen, Kris, and the Carry It Forward Crew

Thank you Oregon Country Fair Community!

Carry It Forward is thankful to the Jill Heiman Vision Fund and the Oregon Country Fair community for supporting our efforts in 2019-2020. These funds helped us develop our own facility, allowing us to expand our services and broaden our impact.

During the winter of 2019-2020, the Jill Heiman funds we received were used to create a working facility for sorting, laundering, and storing donations of clothing and camping gear out of a derelict county-owned building.

The funds also helped provide the necessary supplies, staff training, and employment of 10 unhoused people who delivered supplies and fuel to 920 unhoused people on the street through last winter. Thank you to all who contributed to this fund, it truly saved lives.
