Some things hit a little too close to home, and what happened in Bend on Thursday is one of them.
Our hearts are broken for the families, students, teachers, and everyone affected by this tragedy. Bend may be down the road from us, but here in Central Oregon, we're all neighbors. When one community hurts, we all feel it.
One thing that's been incredible to witness through all of this is the way people have come together. The support, the compassion, the willingness to help people they've never even met. That's what community is all about.
The Tumble Inn has been a gathering place for Redmond since 1950. We've seen a lot over the years, and we know that sometimes people just need a place to go, a familiar face, or someone willing to listen.
Our doors and our hearts are always open to our neighbors. You don't have to have the right words, and you don't have to have it all figured out.
To everyone hurting right now, we're thinking of you. And to everyone showing up for one another, keep doing what you're doing. It's what makes Central Oregon home. ❤️
