Merging for Greater Impact: the WNHS/NEDCO Story

On 1/1/19, WNHS and NEDCO officially merged, creating the entity that is now DevNW. The merger follows two years of due diligence, planning, and incredible support from our partners, funders, boards, and staff. Why would we go through all that work? In short: to do more of what we do, and do it better.

And the new name is...DevNW!

Renaming an organization is a tricky business, but we found the right name – and the right brand – with DevNW. When we started the merger process, we knew we couldn’t merge our names. (Though we had fun playing around with it: Willamette Neighborhood Economic Development and Housing Services Corporation…has a certain ring to it, doesn't it?!)

Heating Up the Dream: Leela’s Kitchen

“I had an interest for a few years and when I was ready to try something out, I happened to look on Craigslist and found Sprout! Kitchen. I always had a desire to provide a healthy option for people eating out — and a different flavor that’s not American. I have my own restaurant and my goal is to serve the community. I want to give a lot, so I hope it gets there.” – Leela Nelapudi, owner of Leela’s Kitchen, Authentic Indian Cuisine, Hatch Business Incubator client
