First Place Family Center: Donation Drive
Nestled in the heart of Lane County, Oregon, lies Eugene, a vibrant college town home to the Oregon Ducks, Kesey Square, and more than 15% of Oregon’s homeless population- many of whom are families.
First Place Family Center is Eugene, Oregon’s only overnight, temporary shelter serving families. Their mission is to provide a warm, safe space where families experiencing homelessness can shower, do their laundry, and access food and other essential services.
We partnered with Northwest Medical Homes in the winter of 2023 to collect donations of bedding, clothing, essential health and hygiene items, and women’s hygiene products for First Place. This will be an annual event. Our donations from this round are listed below, and donations to FPFC are always accepted.
