We're happy to announce that St. Vincent de Paul's Dusk to Dawn program is once again a Dawn-to-Dawn program<https://www.svdp.us/services/shelter-assistance/dawn-to-dawn/>. Thanks to new funding, Dawn to Dawn will be able to shelter individuals in need during the day and night.

For those who are not familiar, The Dawn to Dawn program invites unsheltered individuals to sleep safely in heated, heavy-duty communal tents. Currently, the emergency shelter program has capacity for 125 guests. Additionally, meals and social services are served through the Eugene Service Station (ESS) and access to basic healthcare is at the Hub clinic located onsite. Dawn to Dawn has low-barrier entry with no time limit for guests who follow the shelter guidelines.

To access beds at the Dawn to Dawn visit the Eugene Service Station in person at 450 Hwy 99N at 2:00 PM when we assign new beds.

Right now, thousands of Oregonians can’t access essential food resources because of immigration status. We can change this! Together we have the power to create a future where immigration status no longer drives hunger and poverty in our communities.

Your support of Food for All Oregonians is just what we need. In a few weeks, join us for an event to come together to make a better future possible. Join us for a community conversation about Food for All Oregonians. We will share stories, learn more together and take action to support expanding food assistance to everyone in our lives, regardless of immigration status.

It can be scary to think of our mortality & what comes next. It’s also hard to think about what happens to our stories when we’re no longer here to tell them. @death.doula.pdx<https://www.instagram.com/death.doula.pdx/> and @queergriefclub<https://www.instagram.com/queergriefclub/> are specifically working on legacy projects through their EOL Services for Queer Elders and those at the end of life.

Their goal is to give queer elders/those at end of life the opportunity to tell their own stories and share their own legacies that could be shared with the greater community ♥️ 🗣️ Fill out their form if you’re interested<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1aS1CB_rWQsKKOXbZbEu8RJ4J-FHesMC6DZdbPtYGu1c/viewform?edit_requested=true>!

IMPORTANT REPEATS!

[Summer EBT logo]<https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/food/Pages/sebt.aspx>USE SUMMER EBT<https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/food/Pages/sebt.aspx> BENEFITS BEFORE THEY EXPIRE!

On Oct. 1, 2024, the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) sent emails and texts to remind families with $10 or more left on their Summer EBT cards to use their benefits before they expire. About 33,500 households received this reminder.

Summer EBT benefits are available on Summer EBT cards for 122 days (about four months). After that, any unused benefits will be removed from their Summer EBT card.

[cid:image019.png at 01DA6EEE.6DBBFFC0]<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.
