The barricades are being posi- tioned on the street allowing diners to be seated in the area between barriers. The placement of the barricades is being made in an attempt to allow for safe physical distancing on sidewalks outside restaurants. There is now a digital process in place to obtain the barricades, which requires a restau- rant owner to fill out some paperwork via email describing the nature of the seating layout in their particular establishment.

During March, April and May, the num- ber of requests for do- mestic violence victim assistance tripled from that same period the year before, said SOS Executive Director Bob Teter. “The number of requests for rent and utility assistance during the past month has near- ly equaled the number of requests over the previ- Do you part and volunteer today to help support these organizations in our community. Habitat for Humanity ous six months.” Anticipating that need, SOS went to work raising funds. “We were able to raise the funds to help 55 heads of households who had been laid off or furloughed get caught up with rents and utili- ties. As we look forward, the need is still there,” Teter said. In recent weeks, SOS has been successful in se- curing additional grant funds, totaling more than $140,000 in direct aid for those affected by COVID. However, those grants are very specific and restrictive and only addresses rent and utili- ty needs. The grants do not include operation- al support and much of that money has already been distributed to cli- ents. Additionally, SOS has other programs in need of support to address issues like domestic vi- olence, sexual violence, human trafficking, pre- scription assistance, clothing, shower, laun- dry and transportation. Those needs remain and have been impacted by the overall reduction in funds earmarked for SOS. Another effect of the pandemic has been the reduction of private and government revenues for needs unrelated to the COVID crisis. “Half of SOS’s budget is supported by grants from Lane County and the State of Oregon and some of the local busi- nesses that regularly support SOS have dra- SATURDAY SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY JULY 25 JULY 26 JULY 27 JULY 28 Sunny/Wind Sunny 66°F 50°F 73°F 52°F matically scaled back do- nations and understand- ably so,” said Teter. “Our goal is to raise $37,000 in community contribu- tions by Sept. 30 in order to maintain our current level of service. That is the amount of project- ed loss of income due to Department of Justice budget cuts, decline in community giving last spring and the cancel- ation of a fundraising event all associated with the COVID-19 Pandem- ic.” For more information on how you can help support those in need of the many services pro- vided by SOS, call Bob Teter at Siuslaw Out- reach Services, located at 1576 West 12thStreet, or call 541-997-2816.
