Community Support Matters: Join AntFarm’s Circle of Support this Giving Tuesday

AntFarm continues to serve youth and families across Sandy, Estacada, Molalla, and rural Clackamas County, through programs that offer safety, connection, skill building, outdoor learning, and community support. YouthHubs, gardens, workforce development, outdoor stewardship, the AntFarm Café and Bakery, and bilingual family programs all depend on the same essential ingredient: a community that chooses to invest in its own people.

This week brings a major moment for that investment.  Giving Tuesday arrives on December 2 and invites people around the world to practice generosity with intention. For rural nonprofits like AntFarm, Giving Tuesday is more than a date on the calendar. It is a chance to strengthen programs that respond immediately when youth need support, when families face barriers, and when community needs shift faster than funding cycles can keep up.

One of the most effective ways to support AntFarm during Giving Tuesday is to become a recurring donor. Monthly giving is one of the strongest tools available to stabilize vital programs. Public funding changes without warning. Grants ebb and flow. Community needs do not. Monthly donors create a dependable base of support that carries AntFarm through every season, allowing staff to plan responsibly, remain flexible, and keep programs open even in uncertain times.

Starting December 1, AntFarm is launching a gratitude perks program for its “Sustaining the Seasons Monthly Donor Program.” These perks are a simple thank you for helping sustain youth programs year-round:

• $15 to $20 monthly: complimentary small drip coffee or freshly baked cookie each month

• $25 to $45 monthly: complimentary 16 oz espresso drink each month

• $50 to $95 monthly: complimentary entrée each month

• • $100+ monthly: two complimentary entrées each month to share with a guest

These thank you menu items come from the AntFarm Café & Bakery in Sandy, a community gathering space and welcoming doorway into the larger mission. The Café is often where individuals first learn about youth resources, family support, outdoor programs, and the initiatives that strengthen local neighborhoods.

Giving Tuesday is a reminder that generosity builds strong communities. AntFarm invites residents across East Clackamas County to join the circle of support that keeps youth learning, families connected, and opportunities growing. Monthly gifts, along with one time Giving Tuesday donations, directly support programs that make a real impact close to home.
