Mid Oregon is partnering with Caring for Troops, a local 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, whose purpose is to support American military personnel who are serving overseas. Monthly handmade care packages are sent as part of this effort.
How can you help? While Caring for Troops gratefully accepts donations, the immediate need is to identify military personnel so they may be added to the monthly mailing list.
If you know someone with a Central Oregon connection who is deployed outside of the United States, please visit the Caring for Troops website and sign them up. Thank you for your support!.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is urging taxpayers to be mindful of scammers using emails and text messages to trick people into providing their personal and tax information.
In a press release issued March 21, the IRS warned against clicking on or opening emails or text messages claiming to be from the agency, as the IRS will never “initiate contact with taxpayers by email, text or social media regarding a bill or tax refund.”
Avoid being scammed by learning how to protect yourself.
