Doris’s Place

The Oregon Community Foundation – Doris J. Wipper Fund Trustees, including the late Ted Freres, are major supporters of our work in the Santiam Canyon. They encouraged us to bring our prevention programs to families living in the rural towns of Aumsville, Lyons, Mehama, Mill City, Sublimity, and Stayton. The late Doris Wipper was a beloved member of the Freres family who own Freres Lumber Co. in addition to being corporate sponsors of Doris’s Place and supporting FBB’s programing annually. Doris served as the chief financial officer for Freres Lumber Co. for many years and established a fund to provide opportunities for future generations. After several different locations in the Canyon, our new building and permanent home at 955 East Santiam was opened January 2026.
