The Hoss Legacy focuses its support on four local nonprofits:  Daybreak Youth Services, The Children’s Center, North County Community Food Bank, and the Ronald P. Hoss Memorial Scholarship for students in the Creative Media & Digital Culture Program at Washington State University Vancouver.  It invites you to join them in also providing support for these deserving organizations.

To facilitate your giving, the Hoss Legacy is working with Daybreak Youth Services to provide fiscal sponsorship of the Milestones & Memories Project. The organization is performing accounting for the receipt of funds.  All donation checks should be made payable to “Daybreak Youth Services.”
