Many thanks to Sisters Community Church for promoting the work of STARS at last Sunday’s Summer Music Series event. The evening was lovely. Families relaxing on the lawn, a great show by the band Station Camp, and a chance for STARS to raise funds and, most importantly, raise awareness. SCC brings “community” to life!
STARS Co-founder, Ann Marland, passes away. Join Annie’s family and friends in a Celebration of Life.
Join us August 17th at Sisters Community Church for an Evening of Fund-Raising and FUN -Raising!
Today STARS took part in the Resource Fair hosted by Living Well With Dementia, a support and resource group serving Sisters Country. The event included a community walk to raise awareness for brain health, followed by a resource fair featuring local organizations and services for individuals living with dementia and all care partners.
STARS was honored to be awarded a grant from the Oregon Community Foundation. The generous $15,000 grant will go far in supporting our mission to help keep Sisters healthy, one ride at a time. OCF is committed to funding organizations that work to improve lives in every corner of Oregon. Funding free transportation to non-emergency medical appointments is essential to rural areas.
April is National Volunteer Appreciation Month, and at STARS, we acknowledge that without our volunteers, we wouldn’t exist. We are comprised of 100% volunteers who serve on the board, are directors and managers, take phone calls, and drive passengers to their non-emergency medical appointments.
