RootedHomes

Communities in Bloom 2026 was our biggest year yet. Thanks to a full house of supporters, volunteers, and partners, we raised $126,700 to fuel the next chapter of permanently affordable homeownership in Central Oregon. That is more than $11,000 above last year, and every dollar moves working Central Oregon families closer to a front door of their own. A few of the people who made this possible: Bend Women for Good and Leadership Bend (Bend Chamber) for showing up with volunteers on the ground, our sponsors who continue to believe in this work, and the homeowners and families who keep this mission rooted in something real. Full album below. Tag yourself, tag a friend, and thank you for being part of it.
