Deschutes County Board of Commissioners 1300 NW Wall St. Bend, Oregon 97701 Re: St Vincent de Paul Discretionary Grant Application 11/15/2011 Dear Commissioners, My name is Glenn M. Kotara and I have the privilege of being one of the St Vincent de Paul board members. In my board position I am responsible for any land use or building projects undertaken by the organization .It is in that capacity that I am applying for a $7500 grant for two projects the organization has undertaken. The first project is the division of our parcel of land on Huntington Rd. I have included a plat map for your review. The county application fees will be $3000 and the survey fees will be another $2000. We need to partition this property in order to correct mistakes in prior platting. We also need to partition this property in hopes of selling this parcel to a commercial end user. The sale will allow us to pay down the loan and use those proceeds to further help feed, cloth, and continue to provide the medical and electrical assistance provide by St Vincent de Paul .The partition and potential sale will also provide for the possibility for a new business to locate on the property thereby providing jobs and services to the community of La Pine. The second project we request $1500. These funds will allow for electrical three phase service to our new cold storage. We were fortunate to receive a grant to purchase walk in coolers and freezers in order to store larger amounts of food for our clients. These larger units will also allow us to store food for other organizations who feed the poor like the Soup Kitchen of La Pine. Commissioners with your approval of this grant application St. Vincent de Paul will be better equipped to not only to help those needy in the La Pine area but all citizens in need in our 10,000 mile service area. These economic times have weighed specifically hard on the under privileged. All of us at St. Vincent de Paul realize that economic conditions will continue to deteriorate. It is with that knowledge that we ask for your consideration .Please help us help those who cannot help themselves. Lastly I have included information on our organization and what it accomplishes for the community. If you have any questions or need any clarification please call me at 541-480-7752. Thank you for your consideration, /6(e --n"7-17.

"Our store is ready to sell to meet your buying needs". — Joy Croker. ST. VINCENT de PAUL RETAIL THRIFT STORE: A STORE THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE! The LaPine St. Vincent de Paul Retail Thrift Store depends solely on the generosity of the community for donations of clothing, household items, hardware, furniture, appliances, miscellaneous and vehicles. We are now stationing our pickup truck for attended drop off donations on Mondays (loam - 3pm) at the St. Francis Catholic Center on 2450 NE 27th in Bend and at Holy Trinity Catholic Church on Thursdays (loam - 2pm) at 18143 Cottonwood Road in Sunriver. Donations can also be picked up with our truck by calling 541- 536-1956. These donations are sorted, evaluated, priced and placed in our retail thrift store for sale. This merchandising process provides a low cost shopping alternative for low income individuals and families. Those who cannot afford items for sale in the retail thrift store are provided items without cost through our Social Services Agency. Surplus funds generated from the operation of the retail thrift store are channeled into our social service and food bank programs for the benefit of needy families and individuals regardless of race, creed or www. centraloregonsvdp.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&i... 1/2 11/15/11 La Pine Area Services color. These funds provide food and emergency services for utilities, medical, dental, prescriptions, transportation, shelter or other miscellaneous needs necessary to maintain a basic quality of life. An average client profile shows that 70% of our clients are women, with an average age of 46 and have two children. Their average monthly income ranges from $1,000 to $1,500 and they receive a food box each month. Although the newly incorporated City of LaPine has a population of 1,500, we serve the greater area of southern Deschutes, Northern Klamath and Lake counties with a population base of over 16,000 residents. LaPine St. Vincent de Paul Conference celebrated their new retail thrift store on August 21, 2010 by having Holy Redeemer Parish's Pastor, Father Jose Mudakodiyil, bless the facility. Over 300 people (volunteers, customers, BOD, Lion's Club and Knights of Columbus members) celebrated this customer appreciation day in and around the new 8,000 square foot complex located near the LaPine post office on Huntington Road. In 2010 the LaPine Conference provided 2,300 households in South Deschutes County with 2,100 food boxes, $3,300 in store merchandise, $34,400 in electrical utility costs and $5,300 in medical and dental assistance. Employing 15 full and part-time employees, SVDP has a payroll of over $140,000 annually. These funds are recycled throughout the LaPine community where the unemployment rate exceeds 15%.
