Help Us Furnish Our New Home!
We're moving to downtown Bend by June 1 and need donations to set up our new office.
After three wonderful years in a donated office in the Central Oregon Community College Library (Thank you COCC!), The Nature of Words is moving to its own office and workshop space at 224 NW Oregon Avenue in downtown Bend. For locals, that means across the street from the Pine Tavern.

The College needs to reclaim all available space to accommodate its own explosive growth. While we will miss the vitality of the COCC campus, we are excited about having our own space where we can expand creative writing workshop offerings and have a presence in Bend's lively downtown milieu.

While we have the basics of office furniture, thanks to a great deal from the consolidating local Hospice offices, NOW needs lots of other items to set up its office. Click on this link to see a list of our high priority needs. We will appreciate your donations, unexpired gift cards, or cash to help us purchase what we need.

Thank you!
