The grant will be used for the Emergency Voucher Fund dur- ing 2015. This fund can provide vouchers to local businesses for many different kinds of assistance to individuals or families experiencing a tempo- rary emergency. Vouchers can be used for rent or utilities, fuel, shelter, laundry, showers, prescrip- tions, or food. Last year SOS provided nearly 1,000 vouchers to low income, homeless, or other persons in emergency sit- uations. “We are very thankful to receive this grant again this year” said executive director David Wiegan. “Although we have several sources of funds for our emergency vouchers, they have to last all year and we had almost run out by November. Each grant and donation for this fund is criti- cally important.” Eligibility determinations for assistance are made indi- vidually on a case-by-case basis. An SOS advocate con- ducts an assessment and pro- vides information on all other possible resources that may be available. COURTESY PHOTO SOS staff Leah James and David Wiegan join Foundation board member Yvonne McCafferty and SOS board president Jane Yecny All aid is provided with the emphasis on encouraging self- sufficiency. Victims of domestic/sexual violence, low income families with children, seniors, dis- abled, and homeless persons are the most likely to receive an emergency aid voucher. The Cow Creek people have lived in what is now Southern Oregon for 10,000 years. When violence and disease devastat- ed the tribe in the 1800s, it was reduced to seven families, which is where the name “Seven Feathers” comes from. When Cow Creek rights were reinstated in the early 1980s, all of the money was invested in an endowment fund dedicated to the health and welfare of Tribal funds. In 1997, when Seven Feathers Hotel and Casino Resort was built, 6 percent of the earnings were dedicated for philanthropic purposes. The Tribe formalized this tradition of philanthropy by establishing the Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation. Since that time, the Foundation has given nearly $1 million each year to nonprofit organizations located within the Cow Creek homelands, serving children and families in need.
