As we wind down from a bustling summer in the Gorge, The Next Door invites the community to join us at our first annual Harvest of Hope fundraiser! Enjoy live music, food, and a silent auction with us as we celebrate the impact of our organization on our local communities this year. 

For over ten years, The Next Door Inc. (TNDI) has recognized community members' and donors’ contributions to the organization through Volunteer of the Year and Philanthropist of the Year awards. This year, TNDI has added a new award to celebrate the individuals, businesses, and organizations who have demonstrated outstanding dedication and partnership with our nonprofit, significantly contributing to our mission and initiatives by supporting and advocating for our programs, clients, and TNDI as a whole. We are delighted to announce that Sam Ko, the Oregon Department of Education’s (ODE) Education Program Specialist, is TNDI’s first-ever Community Partner of the Year!

Each year, The Next Door Inc.’s (TNDI) Youth Services team puts on free summer camps for local area youth. Among the three camps and summer youth employment program offered by TNDI is a Native American Culture Camp (NACC). Now in its third year of programming, the camp has seen its greatest turnout yet.

Seasoned Community Health Workers (CHWs) of Nuestra Comunidad Sana eagerly embrace new projects, especially those that will help build a sense of community, civic engagement, and leadership. This year, HPS expanded its services by adding a non-partisan Voter Mobilization Project.

The Next Door Inc. (TNDI) and Burgerville in The Dalles are teaming up for a community fundraiser in July! From 4-8pm on Wednesday, July 17th, 20% of every purchase made at Burgerville will be donated to support TNDI's Kelly Avenue School.
