Our story

Rooted in community since 1973

Sunny Oaks first opened through the vision of Doris Brown, naming the organization after the oak trees in the yard of the first home in Salem’s Sunnyside district.

Harbaugh House was purchased in 1976, and SOI became incorporated in September 1979. Today, we operate 10 residential programs and supported living services across Marion and Polk counties.
