Mid Oregon Credit Union donation to Juniper House funds a year of operations for new sober living home
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Mid Oregon Credit Union said Thursday it has donated $75,000 to New Each Morning, funding one full year of operating expenses for The Juniper House.
The Juniper House is a new transitional, sober living home empowering women who are graduates of alcohol and drug treatment programs. It fills a crucial gap by offering a place that removes the barrier of unsafe or unstable housing so women can focus on continued healing, growth, and independence.
“Navigating recovery and building resilience to stay sober can be incredibly challenging for women without access to safe housing, healthy connection, and empowering resources,” says Kevin Cole, president and CEO of Mid Oregon Credit Union.
“We are honored to support The Juniper House and New Each Morning as they create connection, build stability and hope for women in transition.”
Cathie Coe Sipe, Founder and Executive Director of New Each Morning and The Juniper House, shared, “This property opens the door to long-term impact. With space for gardens, produce, chickens, and small livestock, the possibilities extend far beyond housing — creating opportunities for healing, life-skills development, and future employment pathways.
"Thank you, Mid-Oregon Credit Union, for believing in the mission and walking alongside us as we turn this long-held vision into reality.”
The Juniper House will be holding a grand opening and open house on Sunday February 15, 2026, between 1:00 – 4:00 PM for anyone in the community to tour, celebrate and support its launch. Learn more and RSVP at neweachmorning.org/juniper-house.
