George Fox students are hosting a service and fundraising event in support of Newberg’s wood ministry tomorrow (Saturday) starting at 8:30 a.m.
We’ll kick things off with coffee and donuts, then roll up our sleeves for a few hours of meaningful work, including a friendly wood-stacking competition!
Nearly 25% of Yamhill County households are energy-burdened, spending a significant portion of their income just to stay warm in winter. Come partner with the wood ministry by donating your time, energy and generosity. Learn more here.
We’d love to see you there! If you have questions, please contact Elise Cox at ecox22@georgefox.edu or Taylor Bramel at tbramel22@georgefox.edu.
George Fox is dedicated to supporting and honoring the men and women who have served our country. Our community is rich with military experience, including over 125 student veterans, seven veteran faculty members, and over 100 students whose families have sacrificed greatly.
Our veterans represent all branches, ranging in background from a retired U.S. Army colonel to a U.S. Marine Corps lance corporal. We recognize the heavy, real-life costs of their commitment – the missed life events, the physical and mental burdens and the strain on families and marriages. These stories are deeply personal.
In the spirit of our Be Known promise, we encourage everyone to approach our veterans this Veterans Day (Tuesday, Nov. 11) with an attitude of humility and trust. Avoid assumptions about their experiences. Instead, ask respectful questions and be known as someone who recognizes and values the sacrifice they and their loved ones have made.
We are in need of several volunteers to serve as ushers at Midyear Commencement on Saturday, Dec. 13.

If interested, check out our Commencement Compensation Guidelines. If you sign up for both ceremonies, lunch will be provided too! Please sign up here to serve our grads and their families on this memorable day!
