SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2016 SOS receives $50,628 grant Siuslaw Outreach Services (SOS) will receive $50,628 over the next three years as part of a Department of Justice Rural Grant. The grant was awarded to Kidsfirst in Eugene, a nonprofit organiza- tion which serves children who are victims of child abuse and sexual assault. Kidsfirst started in 1994 in partnership with the Lane County District Attorney’s office. Kidsfirst included SOS in its grant application last year, using a Memorandum of Understanding, so that there could be local advocacy in west Lane County for children it serves in Eugene. Two SOS advocates have already completed a 40-hour training course directed at these kinds of services. The grant covers a one-quarter full- time equivalency advocate position, related personnel expenses, travel, training and communication. 3 A Mayor hosts RAIN Forum SOS has received similar ongoing grants in the last year and a half through partnerships with Womenspace and Sexual Assault Support Services (SASS), both also in Eugene. These partnerships allow for local advocacy and quicker response times, and save on expensive travel. “We are very pleased to be working closely with all three of these organizations,” said SOS Executive Director David Wiegan. “We have been par- ticipating in Child Abuse Multi-Disciplinary Interven- tion meetings and staff train- ings at Kidsfirst for several years. They do an amazing job with extremely difficult situa- tions.” For more information about SOS, visit florencesos.org, call the business office at 541-997- 2816 or stop by 1576 W. 12th St. For emergencies, call the Crisis Line at 541-997-4444.
