BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) – Shepherd's House Ministries is calling on the Central Oregon community to come together in the spirit of gratitude and generosity by contributing to its annual Thanksgiving Dinner.
Donations are needed to provide a warm and meaningful holiday meal for individuals and families in need.
The following items are needed to prepare this year’s feast:
- Turkeys
- Green Beans
- Yams
- Apple Pie
- Pumpkin Pie
- Carrots
- Celery
- Butter
- Potatoes
- Stuffing Mix
Donations can be dropped off at the following locations:
- 1854 NE Division Street, Bend

Donation Hours: Daily, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The annual Thanksgiving Dinner, a cherished community tradition, will take place on Wednesday, November 27, the day before Thanksgiving. Meals will be served at both the Bend and Redmond shelter locations, providing nourishment and connection for those who need it most.
“This event is more than just a meal; it’s an opportunity to share hope, love, and community with our neighbors,” said Curt Floski, executive director. “We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of the Central Oregon community in helping us make this possible year after year.”
Jerry Kaping, director of development for Shepherd's House Ministries, told NewsChannel 21, “We don't expect one person to be able to donate a truckload of turkeys. What we expect is everybody does their part, just a little bit at a time. And a couple cans of beans, a sack of potatoes, a pie - whatever they can do to help us out. ”
Shepherd's House Ministries invites everyone to join in this effort to bring warmth and joy to those in need. Whether you donate food items, volunteer your time, or spread the word, your involvement makes a difference.
