Making a difference in Clatsop County We are extremely fortunate in Clatsop County to have such a wide variety of nonprofit organizations that help raise the quality of life throughout the North Coast. From arts and culture to health and human welfare, and from from youth athletics to service groups, they each make a difference in our community. Our 6th annual Giving Back is a celebration of those nonprofits and for what they do throughout our region, and many of them are documented in this publication. We are grateful to everyone connected to these nonprofits and for what they do in helping to enrich the lives of everyone they touch.

Nonprofits Directory 4-H Contact Person: Sandra Carlson Phone: 503-325-8573 Email: sandra.carlson@oregonstate.edu Website: extension.oregonstate.edu/4h/ clatsop
Our mission:
4-H provides young people with intentional, high quality learning experiences that promote positive interactions with adults and peers, sustained and active participation across time, and opportunities to make meaningful contributions to the world around them.
Positive youth development:
4-H is a volunteer based program where adults work with youth to teach them mastery in a project (such as how to take a good photograph), but it is more than that. We teach life skills such as responsibility, record keeping, giving to others, teamwork, and so much more. In 2020, we have been teaching classes and workshops via zoom and some clubs have also been meeting this way. We are looking a few adult volunteers to help lead hands-on workshops via zoom, as well as a few adult volunteers to help with the Young Entrepreneur Program, teaching youth to create a project and sell it at the Sunday Market. Our program serves
two age groups: youth 5 to 8 years of age known as Cloverbuds and our traditional club members are ages 9-19. The Cloverbud program does not focus on one project, but is intended give these young members many learning opportunities to encourage opening their mind to new learning. 4-H leaders are asked to have 2-deep leadership when leading a group, and training is available to help you prepare of your role. We would also like to offer more science education opportunities such as Natural Science and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) programming.
Donations used for:
We are thankful to those who donate to the 4-H program. The bulk of the money raised goes back to the youth in the form of scholarships for camps and retreats, awards for recognition, supplies for workshops and overnight. We offer scholarships to leaders for leader trainings, and we have a meeting space which we help maintain. We work hard to use the money raised to help keep the programs and events offered to the youth at low-cost so we can more our program more affordable to all. Most of our donations are through cash; however, through the Oregon 4-H Foundation, we can also accept gifts of assets or estates.

Del Thompson went to work for OK Rubber Welders in 1952. Then in 1962 he bought the business. In 1978 Klyde took over as manager and co-owner with Harriet Thompson. He bought out Harriet in 1997, so Klyde and his wife Mary Kaye are the present owners. In 1983, Klyde was one of the founders of the NW Tire Factory Group, which has grown to over 200 locations in 33 years. In 2015, Tire Factory merged with Point S Tire and Auto Group, bringing the number of locations in North America and Europe to over 4,150.

Wigglin Home Boxer Rescue is a non-profit, all-volunteer group of Boxer owners and lovers covering WA, OR and parts of ID and MT. WHBR knows the great need in our community for re-homing Boxers found in unfortunate situations. These dogs come from all walks of life- neglected, homeless, owner surrendered, owner illness/death and military families unable to keep their beloved dogs due to their service to our country. We provide this needed service through donors who believe in our mission, as well as fund-raising events. We work diligently to control the Boxer population through mandatory spaying/neutering of our rescued Boxers. Additionally, we provide education on the Boxer personality and care, overpopulation in shelters and the many dangers of backyard breeding. Adoptive applicants are carefully screened to assure each Boxer is placed with an appropriate forever family, thus coming full circle and completing our goal.
