Welcome Basket<\/h3>\n

Welcome Basket continues work with St. Vincent de Paul to assist formerly homeless families as they move into housing by providing cleaning and household supplies. The programs are Transitions\/Connections, vetLIFT, and Supportive Services to Veterans Families. \u00a0The program has expanded the services through St. Vincent de Paul to include Strengthening and Preserving Families \u00a0and The Homeless Youth house for Girls. \u00a0Square One Emerald Village started by the Eugene Christian Church, has been added as well.<\/p>\n

The Youth House is a home for 13 homeless teenage girls who receive free housing and counseling for 2 years with the incentive to stay in high school and Emerald Village Eugene houses 22 individuals and couples who pay a small monthly rent for their home in this small neighborhood. The land, plans, and construction of the homes were donated by community groups in Eugene.<\/p>\n

68 Welcome Baskets were donated this year to the 6 programs.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Learn More” style=”classic” color=”violet” size=”sm” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.assistanceleague.org%2Feugene%2Fwelcome-basket%2F||”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1450040093574{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”4241″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The Eugene Mission is an additional agency being served through donation of books and activity materials to the newly renovated Moms and Kids playroom bookshelf. The need is great and much appreciated by counselors and families.<\/p>\n
