SOS receives $10K grant from Cow Creek
Siuslaw Outreach Services
(SOS) has received a grant of
$10,000 from the Cow Creek
Umpqua Indian Foundation.
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.

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.
