Volunteer Spotlight
Cascades Academy Expedition Course
April was National Child Abuse Prevention Month—a time our community came together to take meaningful action in support of children and families.
We’re honored to shine a Special Volunteer Spotlight on our incredible Diaper Drive partners across Central Oregon who joined us in this month of awareness💙
Because of you, families have access to essential items like diapers and wipes—resources that ease stress, promote dignity, and help create safe, stable environments for children to thrive. These simple, everyday necessities make a powerful difference in preventing crisis before it begins.
Your generosity, compassion, and commitment to showing up for families in our community do not go unnoticed. You are an essential part of the circle of support that surrounds every child we serve.
From all of us at MountainStar, thank you for your partnership to help build a stronger, more resilient Central Oregon.
