Our programs serve the communities of rural Benton County including Alsea, Philomath, Blodgett, Kings Valley, Monroe, and Philomath.

We’re a collaborative effort of local schools, nonprofit organizations, gracious funders, our local community college and county agencies.

SRF has locally based community coordinators in each of the primary areas we serve. Together, we bring programs and services to the places that families can best access them: their home towns!

We are a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization and gladly accept donations, whether $10 or $1000! You can donate here:
