Volunteers are needed to transcribe messages, send out applications, and help schedule appointments for local families! If interested, call (541) 888-7070.
Homeless Survey and Outreach
Oregon Coast Community Action is working with the South Coast Homeless Council to conduct a "one night count" In Coos Bay, North Bend, Charleston and Port Orford on Jan 27 to determine the homeless population in our community. This is a very important event, because it not only determines the funding our area receives for services for these very needy individuals and families, but it is also is an opportunity to educate the community about available resources. We are seeking volunteers to help out with the count, and a mandatory volunteer training will take place Jan 20th at 2pm, location in the South Coast Food Share Warehouse. If you're interested in helping the homeless this winter call Madeline Enos, Volunteer Coordinator, at (541)888-7070, or email atmenos (at) orcca (dot) us.
