The spiritual center of the Fellowship of Friends organization is Apollo, which features an award-winning winery, among other amenities. Fellowship of Friends members have transformed the 1,200-acre property in Oregon House, California, located in the Sierra Nevada foothills, into an international community and are committed to supporting local programs such as the Alcouffe Community Center.
Affiliated with the nonprofit Dobbins-Oregon House Improvement Foundation, whose mission is to promote community education and activities, the Alcouffe Community Center relies on charitable donations, minimal use fees, and fundraising efforts to cover operational costs and further its goal of serving the Oregon House community.
The center offers a variety of community events and activities, including an annual crab feed and family movie nights, in addition to hosting a number of club meetings, including the Cub and Boy scouts. The community center’s most recent achievement is the construction of the Floyd R. Douthit Memorial Park, which contains a Little League baseball field, a playground, and a picnic area.
