Providence 2025 Hearts of Gold Honorees Are Long-Time Foster Parents at The Next Door
Each year, the Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital Foundation hosts a Hearts of Gold event to honor individuals dedicated to improving the lives of others and building a healthier community in the Gorge. This year's honorees, Jim and Kathy Stutters, are The Next Door Inc.'s (TNDI) longest serving foster parents who’ve opened their hearts and their home to more than 50 foster children, providing the stability, structure, and love that so many have needed since 2012.
Our Community’s Call to Action
As providers of wellness and hope, teachers of resilience, and builders of capacity, The Next Door has a solution. To meet the growing needs of our community, we need to hire two more Community Health Workers. Your financial support is crucial in helping us make this happen.
Our greatest strength at The Next Door has always been our ability to listen and respond to the needs of our community as a trusted and reliable social service agency. Your support enables us to continue to be responsive to those we serve.
