Lane County Health & Human Services, along with the First Christian Church of Eugene and Cahoots, would like to thank the many community members who contributed to Operation Winter Survival Stockpile. To date, more than 3,000 items have been donated and more than 200 households have been served. There remains, however, a need for tents, sleeping bags, and blankets.
“We are humbled by the tremendous response to Operation Winter Survival Stockpile,” said Lane County Human Services Program Coordinator Maria Cortez. “Despite the many donations, supplies that are essential to sleeping outside this time of the year are still in short supply. We need as many folks to help as possible.”
As a reminder, items can be dropped off Monday through Thursday between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. at the First Christian Church (1166 Oak Street in downtown Eugene). The church can also be reached at 541-344-1425.
Items can also be purchased on Amazon and sent to First Christian Church at 1166 Oak Street, Eugene, OR, 97402. View the Amazon Wish List at https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2XR33GS1ULV8Z?ref_=wl_share
Distribution of items will be prioritized to homeless outreach providers, such as CAHOOTS, that come into direct contact with people who are unhoused and unsheltered.
