🌍 COMMUNITY IMPACT:
WHY THIS MATTERS
Rural communities like those in Yamhill County are facing:
• loss of accessible land and community space
• limited mental health and wellness resources
• economic pressure without local reinvestment
The Oaks directly responds by:
• creating a place for healing and connection
• supporting local economic activity
• preserving meaningful land use
• offering programs that serve both individuals and families
This is about keeping opportunity local.
🤝 ACQUISITION APPROACH:
FLEXIBLE PATHWAYS FOR TRANSITION
We are open to structuring a purchase in a way that works for all parties:
• Seller FinancingLease-to-Own / Option to Purchase
• Hybrid Legacy Model (partial donation + favorable terms)
Our goal is a respectful, realistic transition that:
• honors the history of the property
• maintains its integrity
• ensures long-term stewardship and purpose
