Wildhorse Foundation has supported N2N and the Warming Station with annual operational grants since we first opened. In 2017 Wildhorse Foundation provided a grant that funded half the cost of the new heat pump system. In 2022 a generous Wildhorse grant helped enable us to provide motel rooms for homeless individuals during the cold winter nights.
The Pendleton Warming Station would not have been possible without the generaous support of the Wildhorse Foundation ove rthe years.
The Blue Mountain Community Foundation has provided generous operational grants for the Warming Station since about 2022.
In 2025 the Pendlton Foundation Trust provided a grant that replaced most of the old uninsulated aluminum windows with new vinyl insulated ones, improving the energy efficiency of the station. In addition, a new escape window was installed in the men's sleeping area.
In 2017 Pendleton Foundation Trust provided a grant that completely funded a new roof for the N2N building, which houses the Pendleton Warming Station. The roof had been leaking badly and we probably would not have been able to open the Warming Station without this repair.
CAPECO, or Community Action Program for East Central Oregon, has supported Neighbor 2 Neighbor in many critical ways from the start of the Warming Station in 2011. Among the many critical items that CAPECO has provided for N2N activities include bunk beds, sleeping mattresses, commercial washing machines and dryers, commercial dishwasher, commercial refrigerator, and commercial stove. CAPECO provided significant funding for the motel voucher program for both the 2021-22 and 2022-23 winter seasons.
In 2016 St. Anthony donated the building in which N2N houses the Warming Station and Day Center. Without this donation N2N would have had to close its doors since the City Council of Pendleton had voted not to let N2N continue operating the Warming Station/Day Center in the city-owned building we had been using. St. Anthony continues to support N2N through its charitable arm, Common Spirit.
Walmart has provided multiple grants for the Pendleton Warming Station and has encouraged employees to volunteer. In addition, Walmart has sponsored employee food drives for the station.
Columbia Bank of Pendleton has provided funding for Neighbor 2 Neighbor through their annual Warm Hearts Winter Drive Fund of Community Foundation of the North State.
