One Hope

Project hope: organized volunteers for a weekend of service to public schools and underpriviledged children in the area. Service to public schools inlcuded landscaping, painting, and building maintenance. Service to children included a children's fair, giving away new shoes, backpacks, school supplies, haircuts, and food.

Thanks giving meal project: received donations for thanksgiving meal boxes, coordinated volunteers to deliver meal boxes to people in the community who were in financial need. People in need were referred by local public school counselors and local churches.

Cottages of Hope is a collaborative initiative to address Lane Countys housing crisis. We are partnering with Every One Village to develop a reproducible model to sponsor and/or build a 16x8 cottage for people transitioning out of homelessness. Under the direction of skilled contractors, simple plans have been developed and a process put in place to multiply the number of transitional homes in Lane County for people experiencing homelessness. This empowers caring community groups with a tangible method to make an impact in Lane Countys housing shortage.________________________________________
