MAKING A DIFFERENCE
OUR COMMUNITY, OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Doing Our Part
At Dobbes we believe that family is who you choose – your community. We are lucky to be in a community with several nonprofits that provide impactful services. We work with these nonprofits year-round, donating 10% of the proceeds from a rotating list of wines each quarter. Whether online or in the winery, your purchase will help support the nonprofit of your choice. So, uncork, sip, and support along with Dobbes Family Winery.
Team & Nonprofit Partners
As part of our charitable giving program, our staff is asked to select a nonprofit that is meaningful to them – one that is committed to taking care of our community while impacting and bettering others’ lives. We work with these nonprofits year-round, donating 10% of the proceeds from a rotating list of wines each quarter.
Best Friends Animal Society
“I am a devoted animal lover and have rescued all my pets. I am thrilled to help support a cause that cares for the well-being of helpless animals.” – Brooklyn Lyon, Cellar Technician
Best Friends Animal Society is on the ground helping shelters around the country simplify adoption policies and requirements, build out community pet fostering programs, reach areas where low-cost spay/neuter services are most needed, advocate for more pet-inclusive housing, and more. After all, we’re talking about our most loyal companions, and we will not let them down.
Portland Literacy Council
“Literacy empowers, liberates, and increases self-esteem; opening a world of information that would be limited without the ability to read and write. I support any effort that unlocks opportunities for the underserved in our community.” – Kari DeVol, Wine Club Manager
The Portland Literacy Council is dedicated to promoting adult literacy in Oregon, which fosters a thriving and equitable community. The focus of the Portland Literacy Council is to support volunteer tutors who serve in free or low-cost programs for adult learners.
A Family Place
“A Family Place is dedicated to making a positive impact on families and communities by working to strengthen high-risk families to prevent child abuse. I grew up with a family that needed this kind of positive support but had no such services available– I am glad to support an organization that cares for those who are at risk in our community.” – Kari Mahe, General Manager
A Family Place partners with courageous parents and caregivers to help build on their own strengths to overcome life’s challenges. These victories and skills will enable them to create a brighter future for their children and contribute to their communities, enriched by their triumph over adversity.
REACH Northwest
“Children are the heart of our community. I believe deeply in Reach Northwest’s goal to provide children with a safe and supportive family environment and equipping foster families with the tools and resources they need to thrive.” Juli Eagle, Brand Marketing Manager
REACH Northwest strives for everyone impacted by child welfare to feel supported and heard and to know that there is hope for the future for those in their care and themselves. With a goal for the cycle of abuse, abandonment, and neglect to be broken, REACH wants to help change the trajectory of lives toward a brighter tomorrow.
ELEMENTS SPARKLING WINE
OREGON BUBBLES
That Make a Difference
Elements is a wine made with a purpose; to help bring awareness to our planet’s greatest resources and to do our part in its preservation.
