Windermere Foundation Presents Funding to Camp Retreat Ministries
This $2,000 Donation will Allow Camp Retreat Ministries to
Provide a Creation Vacation for Low-Income Families
Portland, Ore.—July 18, 2013—Windermere Cronin & Caplan Realty Group, Inc. presented a check at its Southwest Portland branch to Camp Retreat Ministries, a nonprofit organization that takes low-income families throughout Oregon on outdoor-oriented Creation Vacations.
Camp Retreat Ministries will use the $2,000 for food and board costs so that low-income families can take a family vacation and enjoy the outdoor environment together. These vacations provide relaxation, recreation, and renewal for families who would otherwise not have this opportunity.
Windermere has a long-standing tradition of assisting low-income families and giving to the community. In addition to helping Camp Retreat Ministries — Creation Vacation, Windermere associates participate in annual community service projects and donate a portion of every commission to the Windermere Foundation — a nonprofit organization that has raised and donated more than $1,000,000 to programs that support low-income and homeless families in the Portland metro and north Oregon Coast area.
