With live sound effects and multiple characters, the play captures the heartwarming tale of family, friendship, and finding hope when needed most.

Friday and Saturday nights at 7:00 PM and Sunday matinees at 2:00 PM

Join Trailkeepers of Oregon December 8th for a trail party! As winter and wet weather settle into the Oregon North Coast, help TKO brush back some of the persistent and evergreen vegetation encroaching on the beautiful Neah-Kah-Nie trail. We will work at a gentle pace and work our way up the trail, brushing as we go. If we’re lucky enough for clear views we can take some time for lunch near the summit. All tools will be provided, we just need you!

Helping Our Community

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Thank you to all who have given food, money, your time, and presents to our North Tillamook County Non-Profits. Makes you feel good to help others. Just a reminder to those of you who want to help our community, I’ll mention names and addresses again. I know getting out for some of us is hard, but with these addresses you can make life easy and send a check. Thanks for being a good neighbor!

We are starting up in the north end of Tillamook County today. You remember Nehalem Bay Community Services (NBCS) is the organization which was run under the umbrella of the Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church. It includes Nehalem Senior Lunches, CHILD Program, and the Nehalem Bay Food Pantry. You may note on your check if you want your donation to go to just one of these programs or split between all three. The CHILD Program is currently collecting items for children’s Christmas presents. New clothing and new toys for kids are being collected at the Methodist Church in Nehalem. You will find tags locally at Nehalem Lumber, Bayway Tavern, Manzanita Grocery & Deli (who also has a donation jar), the U.S. Bank and First Security Bank.

The North County Food Bank (NCFB) is in Wheeler. NCFB distributes food and clothing on Tuesdays. If you have extra canned foods or gently used and warm clothing for both adults and children, this is a good place to leave them. They will be busy this next week as they are distributing Thanksgiving dinners to people. To support them year around it is good to send them what you can each month. The address is NCFB, PO Box 162, Wheeler, Oregon 97147.

Rockaway Beach Lions Club provides a basket of food to families and seniors at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Their contact information is Rockaway Beach Lions, PO Box 611, Rockaway Beach, Oregon 97136.

Meals for Seniors, also in Rockaway Beach, has a meal site and delivers food to people who cannot make it to the site. Donations to this organization can be made to Meals for Seniors, Inc., PO Box 852, Rockaway Beach, Oregon 97136.
