UNCLE FOODS DINER Cow Creek foundation grants $5,000 to Peace House Comment By Tidings staff report DailyTidings.com By Tidings staff report Posted Jan. 29, 2015 at 6:34 PM By Tidings staff report Posted Jan. 29, 2015 at 6:34 PM » Social News Peace House in Ashland is one of 63 organizations and schools awarded grants by the Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation on Jan. 7. The $5,000 award will support Uncle Foods Diner, the weekly community meal Peace House serves for the benefit of the poorest residents and homeless population in the Ashland area.  In this semi-annual round of giving, the foundation gave out more than $460,000 to support service projects addressing food security, community health, help for the physically and mentally challenged, early childhood education and other fundamental human needs. Since the foundation began in 1997, it has awarded more than $14 million. Recipients work in the seven-county area, which includes Jackson County, that made up the original homeland of the Cow Creek band.  “This is our second award from the foundation,” said Herbert Rothschild Jr., chairman of the Peace House board of directors, “and we are deeply grateful for it. It will help us meet an increasing demand for basic nutrition in a region still not recovered from the economic collapse of 2008.”  Rothschild said that, with the exception of one project that mainly serves Native Americans, the primary beneficiaries of the foundation’s current awards are the descendants of the very people who tried — and nearly succeeded — in exterminating the Cow Creek people. “As an organization primarily devoted to building peaceful and reconciliatory relationships at all levels of social organization," he said, "we especially appreciate the example the tribe is giving us all to overcome historical resentments and recognize all human beings as brothers and sisters.” For more information, contact Peace House by email at [email protected] or phone at 541-482-9625.     By Tidings staff report DailyTidings.com By Tidings staff report Posted Jan. 29, 2015 at 6:34 PM » Comment or view comments Reader Reaction » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
