The Peaks 360 Commits an Additional $25,000 to NeighborImpact
Amid Government Shutdown, Continuing Support for Central Oregon Community

Redmond, Oregon – 11/6/2025 – The team at The Peaks 360 rural residential community, today announced an immediate $25,000 donation to NeighborImpact, a Central Oregon-based nonprofit organization serving Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties and Warm Springs. This donation is in direct response to the food insecurity emergency faced by many Central Oregon residents due to the ongoing government shutdown, as well as a delay in State funding.

“The current government shutdown is creating significant hardship for families throughout Central Oregon, and we feel compelled to step up and provide additional immediate support,” said Mark Stockamp, The Peaks 360 Research & Development Manager. “NeighborImpact is on the front lines, providing vital resources to those in need, and we are proud to partner with them to help alleviate the burden during this challenging time.”

NeighborImpact provides a network of support to meet basic needs, alleviate poverty, and build stability for Central Oregon residents through a large variety of programs, including food assistance, housing support, energy assistance, and early childhood education, among others. The $25,000 donation from The Peaks 360 will directly support NeighborImpact’s food assistance programs, helping to ensure that individuals and families have access to nutritious meals during the shutdown.

“We’re deeply grateful to The Peaks 360 for their continued commitment to our community,” said Scott Cooper, Executive Director of NeighborImpact. “This funding comes at a critical moment. Although SNAP benefits have been restored, uncertainty remains. Until the federal government reopens, there is no guarantee that December SNAP benefits—or other federal safety-net programs—will be funded. Meanwhile, the need for food assistance remains at record levels.”

He added that NeighborImpact’s food network continues to work diligently to keep food moving to families across Central Oregon.

“The food network will need to work hard in the coming months to keep shelves stocked and food flowing during the busiest time of the year,” Cooper said. “Community support like this helps make that possible.”

This commitment reflects the team at The Peaks 360’s existing pledge to donate the majority of profits from The Peaks 360 rural residential community to the great work that non-profits here in Central Oregon and beyond are doing. Despite The Peaks 360 not yet generating profits, the project has already donated over $300,000 to Central Oregon nonprofits that support the local community.

The Peaks 360 invites others to donate to NeighborImpact to support the immediate food insecurity needs of Central Oregon residents. Donate at: www.neighborimpact.org/#donate and select “The Peaks 360 Matching Gift” from the drop-down menu.
