Santa Clara Community Foundation, BottleDrop Holiday Give 2024

Posted on November 15, 2024 by Tim Foelker

Dear Santa Clara,
Your donations mean the world to us. From now until December 2nd, they’ll mean even more! 

Thanks to @oregonbottledrop and the #BottleDropGive  #HolidayGive2024 program, the Santa Clara Community Foundation can earn a 20% match on blue bags returned by Dec. 2. 

We’ll bring you bags, and/or pick up when they’re full. Just email:
bluebag@santaclaracommunityfoundation.org

Plus, show us your support and send in a picture we can use for the social media contest! Picture some blue bags with yourself, a family member, pets, whomever, or wherever. Every daily social media entry gets a chance at $100 for the Santa Clara Community Foundation. Get Creative. We need your pics!

You can send pictures for the contest to bluebag@santaclaracommunityfoundation.org, also.

Here’s Tim, Deneen and “helpers” rounding up blue bags for us! Proceeds directly support our #santaclaraoregon community, with such projects as Hileman Heroes and the Schoolhouse. The Heroes are working to restore neighborhood #riparianhabitat on the #willametteriver #pnw #oregon.

SCCO General Meeting – November 7, 7 PM

Posted on November 5, 2024 by Gary Haliski

The next meeting of the Santa Clara Community Organization will be this Thursday.

General Meeting
Thursday, November 7
7 PM
3280 River Road (Messiah Lutheran Church)

Main Topic: An update on Lane County’s Housing progress presented by Kate Budd, the Human Services Division Manager for Lane County.

In 2023, Lane County received $15 million from the State of Oregon to mitigate our homelessness crisis. That money was used to prevent 795 households from becoming homeless, to rehouse 220 unsheltered households into permanent housing, and to create or improve 304 emergency shelter beds.

Now a second round of funding is being used to sustain these efforts and continue to build on the successes. Hear the details on this and the work happening to prevent homelessness, provide shelter, and transition households to permanent housing. There will be time for Q&A.

Attend in person or watch via video.
