Sauvie Island Grange

The Grange is a family fraternal, community service organization with roots in agriculture. We promote a rural quality of life and encourage community activities through involvement. We are the voice of our community and country regarding education, agriculture and environment. Sauvie Island Grange has been active in island affairs since it was established in 1935. Our history includes helping the island get electricity, roads and telephones. Community involvement is important to us. You do not have to be a member of Grange for us to take up a cause that is of importance to the island.

Our charity starts on the island with support of our school and volunteer fire department. We provide dictionaries to all Sauvie Island School third graders very year. We donate clothing and toys to the Children’s Relief Nursery in St Johns and food and clothing to the Women’s Shelter in St Helens. We support national groups such as the American Red and the Salvation Army. We are most proud of our annual scholarship program. Since 1983, we annually award scholarships to islanders seeking to continue their education beyond secondary school. We publish a quarterly community calendar that goes out to all islanders and island telephone directory once every three years.

Grange members meet the second Monday of every month at 7:30 pm. The ladies of the Grange meet the third Wednesday of the month at 1:30 pm and you do not have to be a member of the Grange to attend the afternoon meetings. We host two open house meetings a year, in May to award our scholarships and a potluck dinner in October. If you would like an application for membership, please call 503-621-9604 or email btelectric@qwestoffice.net.

The Grange is available for rent for non-alcoholic events. This is a perfect place for uninterrupted meetings because cell phone service is limited. We are located at 14443 NW Charlton Road, just behind the Sauvie Island School. Please call Judy Bridge, 503-621-3620 for rates.
