The Oregon wine industry is, at its core, a community. It is built on trust, care, and the skill, labor, and dedication of vineyard stewards and winery workers, many of whom are immigrants or part of immigrant families. Their contributions are fundamental to our region's success and inseparable from who we are.
Recent immigration enforcement actions have deeply impacted members of our community. The Willamette Valley Wineries Association and the Willamette Valley Wine Foundation stand with those affected and remain firmly committed to supporting their well-being, safety, and dignity.
At this moment, we are listening closely to and collaborating with our community partners who are responding to urgent and deeply personal humanitarian needs.
We have identified several capable nonprofit partners that are providing direct legal, humanitarian, and community defense services to immigrant workers and their families in the Willamette Valley. To support these urgent services, we encourage you to direct gifts to the organizations below.
Thank you for standing with the families who make the wines in the valley we all cherish.
