SERVE TOGETHER
Serving our local communities
At Common Ground we are excited to be a catalyst for generous service in and with the outdoor community of Central Oregon. That’s why, at least once every month, we get out and serve together, either supporting other fantastic local entities and events, or by initiating our very own opportunities to give back. It has been said: “It’s better to give than to receive” and we tend to agree. Check out our opportunities below to see how you can serve with Common Ground.

.An exciting trail run is happening this month in Central Oregon on Saturday, August 23- the Oregon Cascades 100. Not only is the race 100 miles- it also has roughly 11,000 ft of gain and 11,000 ft of loss. Racers have up to 32 hours to finish.
Common Ground is partnering with the event for a 5th year to volunteer at 1 of the 13 aid stations on the race. We will serve together by providing trail runners with food, drinks, and aid at a busy aid station that runners go by at mile 40. Shifts are available from 11 am to 6:30 pm on Saturday, August 23, with the biggest need for volunteers being from 12-4 pm. Feel free to come for an hour, a few, or all day depending on your availability. Aid station is located near Virginia Meissner Sno Park outside of Bend.
More details to be announced with registration for the service day coming soon. Stay up to date via our newsletter and social media.
