The Yamhill County Search and Rescue Team is a nonprofit 501 C 3 organization. Although we do receive some funding from the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office for vehicles, insurance, and uniforms, the majority of our funding comes from public support in the form of donations and fundraisers such as our annual Christmas Tree sales, Tee Shirts (see below), and special events. Your TAX DEDUCTIBLE donation helps provide equipment and training for the team.
