Newberry Regional Partnership developing an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Assessment for

South Deschutes County

The Newberry Regional Partnership will develop an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Assessment for the Newberry Country region, creating a clearer picture of the support available to local small businesses and entrepreneurs.

The assessment will identify existing services, assets and resources, while also highlighting gaps and opportunities for improvement. It will help determine where stronger coordination or easier navigation could be to better connect entrepreneurs with existing support, where current services may need additional capacity, and where new or redesigned services could help the region’s businesses thrive.

If you are an entrepreneur in South Deschutes County and would like to participate in the project, please reach out to Kathy DeBone at lapinekathy@gmail.com.

Newberry Regional Partnership (NRP) received a $2,000 grant from First Interstate Bank to support the Newberry Country Food Project, the signature program of NRP’s Live Well La Pine Action Team. The grant will help address rising food assistance needs in south Deschutes and north Klamath counties.

The project organizes community green bag collections of shelf-stable food and hygiene items

that go to La Pine Community Kitchen, St. Vincent de Paul of La Pine and the La Pine

Community Christian Center. It is the first coordinated green bag program of its kind in the La

Pine area. Participation has grown quickly, with recent collections bringing in thousands of

pounds of food and hygiene items that stay in the local community.

The $2,000 will help purchase high-need items that are often under-donated (such as proteins,

fresh produce, and hygiene products), support outreach, and strengthen basic coordination so

each delivery better meets pantry needs.

“This support from First Interstate Bank helps us stretch community donations further at a time

when demand is rising,” Olivia Shields, Live Well La Pine Action team leader, said. “The food

project shows the power of neighbors giving a little at a time, and this grant strengthens that

effort.”

The project is part of Live Well La Pine’s work under NRP’s 2025-2030 Newberry Country

Strategic Action Plan. NRP’s mission is advancing rural vitality in Newberry Country through

civic engagement, community-led action and partnerships.
