This list includes meals, food boxes, Tree of Joy programs, Toys for Tots and other gift programs and more!

The Winter Holiday Resource list is now available in Spanish and is attached.

Check it out<https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/providers-partners/self-sufficiency/Pages/default.aspx>! This site<https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/providers-partners/self-sufficiency/Pages/default.aspx> is for partners who want to help people in Oregon connect with ODHS' Self-Sufficiency Programs (SSP).

[cid:image022.png at 01DB457B.6BB35390]<http://www.lanecountyor.gov/shelter>Lane County Shelter Finder SITE is now live

The Shelter Finder can be found via the Lane County Shelter Finder website<http://www.lanecountyor.gov/shelter> or Lane County Housing Help website<http://www.lanecountyor.gov/housinghelp>.

This website is intended to help those in our community seeking shelter either for themselves, or for someone else, know what shelters have beds available on a given night and what criteria there are for accessing those shelters.

Those accessing the site can filter through the shelters based on unique needs and be pointed in the direction of those shelters that best meet those needs. Additionally, by clicking on the bed icons located on the embedded map, site visitors can see information about the shelters including pictures, intake information, what they can expect when accessing and other important details.

As always, ODHS staff please visit and bookmark the D5 Community Resources OWL page<https://dhsoha.sharepoint.com/teams/Hub-ODHS-District5/SitePages/Community-Resources.aspx> for resources, flyer library and more.
