SoBac Mission

The South Benton Advisory Council (SoBAC) is on a mission to provide opportunities for local collaborations and sensible investment in our community and families. 

What is SoBac? 

History: In 2013, United Way received a fifteen-year bequest from the Margaret E. Hull Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation (the Hull Fund) to conduct United Way's mission work specifically to benefit residents of rural Benton County. To ensure investment of bequest funds meets the needs and desires of community members, United Way conducted a Needs Assessment in the rural south county communities of Alpine, Bellfountain, Glenbrook, Ingram Island, Irish Bend, and Monroe.

This exploratory assessment provided a first step in establishing relationships between United Way and South Benton County residents and leadership groups. It also informed United Way of the needs and assets of the assessed communities and where funding will have the greatest sustainable impact.
