Jim Parr Philipson Memorial Gifts

Jim Parr Philipson, former pastor at Corvallis First United Methodist Church, passed away October 16, 2022. Jim was essential to the creation of Room at the Inn, leveraging experience he had starting a shelter in Bend. Jim's support was instrumental to creating the initial Room at the Inn board and bylaws, and he served regularly as a volunteer, taking shifts and working directly with the women experiencing homelessness who come to the shelter. His memorial service will be held on November 1st, 2022, 1 pm, at the Corvallis First United Methodist Church. Memorial contributions in his name are gratefully welcomed to the Unity Shelter's Room at the Inn program. A donation to Room at the Inn supports a program that does what was dear to his heart: "to feed the hungry, care for people who are experiencing homelessness, comfort those in grief and pain."
