Local 290 helps out Eugene Relief Nursery EUGENE — For nearly a decade, Plumbers and Fitters Local 290 has do- nated to Eugene’s Relief Nursery Inc. during the holiday season. On Dec. 12, Business rep Lou Christian and other members of the union did it again — dropping off sweatsuits, clothes and underwear for all 251 kids enrolled in the Early Child- hood Program. Relief Nursery, Inc. is a private, non-profit agency that helps low-in- come families with children between birth and six years of age, who are at- risk for child abuse and neglect. “They make it personal, buying spe- cific items for specific children. It’s re- ally special to us,” said Kelley Suther- land, community relations director for the Relief Nursery. Relief Nursery Inc. is located at 1720 West 25th Ave., Eugene. The phone number is 541-343-9706.
