three new staff members to

Crisis Assistance Unit, assist-
ing clients with housing and
utilities as well as those ex-
periencing homelessness. He
has an extensive background
in counseling and case man-
agement.
In addition, Michaela Ol-
ivieri has moved from the
positon of Crisis Assistance
Advocate to the position of
Housing & Utility Assistance
Program Manager that was
made vacant with the de-
parture of Tim Weese. Tim
moved to the Salem area to
manage a housing assistance
program there.
Karisa McDonell fills a
new position, Resource De-
velopment, and is writing for
grants and social media ac-
counts in addition to assisting
our bookkeeper.
A new website has
launched at www.florencesos.
org, providing greater ease
of access to resources for cli-
ents and more user-friendly
means of donating online.
Clients can contact an ad-
vocate directly through the
website or find information
on how to connect on the
phone or in person. Donors
can contribute with added
ease with the donation portal
powered by PayPal.
Plus, SOS’ accounts on
Facebook and Instagram are
now live as the agency catch-
es up with the ever-increasing
popularity of social media
communications. The agency
has learned more people are
looking to social media for
resources. This new Social
media engagement will in-
crease exposure to potential
clients and keep the commu-
nity updated on the service
provided here at Siuslaw Out-
reach Services.
People can find the SOS

from her garden.
She
loved
garden-
ing, canning, adventure,
church, reading, her friends
and family. She had a set of
practical skills that ranged
from putting on a new roof
to doctoring a cut. She was
a hard worker and willing
to help where she could.
She left a legacy and a
picture of what giving, and
loving should look like. She
was extraordinary in many
ways and will be missed.
