6 - GIVING BACK - COTTAGE GROVE AREA NON-PROFITS - MARCH 28, 2018
The support of our community members is vital.
We would love to have you be part of our mission.
Since 1982, Community Sharing has been meeting the basic needs of
South Lane County community members. Due to budget cuts and in-
creasing numbers of clients, the continued success of this work depends
greatly on the generosity of our community.
In the coming months, Community Sharing kicks off the South Lane Food
Project. The Food Project will simplify the way our generous community
meets the food needs of our neighbors.
Based on the Ashland Food Project, community members volunteer to
become Donors or Neighborhood Coordinators.
Cottage Grove Elks Lodge #1904
is proud to support our community.
We are a non-profi t fraternal organization
that focuses on youth and Veterans .
Neighborhood Coordinators help by:
Recruiting friend, family, and neighbors to be Donors
Picking up full donation bags and leave replacements every 2
months
Donors help by:
Filling a provided reusable grocery tote every 2 months
Th e Elks Children's Eye Clinic and Meadow-wood Springs summer
camp for hearing and speech challenged and autistic children are major

Locally we fund youth activities and projects including: Dictionary
Project (a dictionary for third grade students), Drug Awareness, Vision
