Hello All --
It can feel hard to believe in the midst of Oregon grey winter, but spring is right around the corner, and we are so excited to be planning out our next few months together!
We had a blast at our first Mentorship Education Event, and we're excited to host more educational events about our services in Linn County (including Sweet Home and Lebanon).
We are still in the process of seeking a new Volunteer Coordinator to fill Bruce Piercy's mighty shoes, and we've got lots more highlights and announcements to share with y'all, especially about our upcoming Spring Fundraiser Event!
Gratefully, Hannah & the Jackson Street Team

Corvallis House Renovation Update |
|
 |
We've installed new floors, replaced and repainted the exterior siding, installed home theater seating, completely refurbished the basement, expanded and repainted the upstairs bedrooms, and so much more! |
|
|
|
We're so excited to be welcoming our youth back into this shelter in the next couple months, and we're so grateful to our donor Chris Saltveit for generously donating his time, labor, expertise, and money to this project.
|
We're going to be moving youth back into Corvallis House around March-April, and we'll be hosting a big community Open House celebration this summer (hopefully in June before everyone starts going on vacations). Keep an eye out for that invitation! |

January Mentoring Month Highlights |
|
We had a blast in January, onboarding several new volunteer mentors, reaching out to our community, and handing out these beautiful patches to our past and present volunteer mentors. Thanks to everyone who shared information about our mentorship program and came to our event in Albany! |
|
- Outpatch helped us to design these sweet adhesive patches to give to past and current mentors!
|
- The Corvallis Mac Users Group (CMUG) donated us 7 Macbook Air laptops! These powerful tools will be used to help our shelter youth stay on top of their school work, engage in fun creative projects, and stay connected to their friends and family. Thanks so much to CMUG, who gave this gift in memoriam of former cornerstone members Bill Russell and Lew Nelson.
|
|
- Our Youth Ambassadors helped us to host a wonderful Mentoring Education Event at The Brim Coffee Co in Albany, and we're looking forward to hosting similar events in Lebanon and Sweet Home in the next few months.
|
- Bombas donated us 3,000 pairs of socks in January, which have been brought into our clothing closet and are already being shared with youth in our community. Thank you Bombas!

We're currently in search of.....
- Warehouse / storage space in Albany
- Larger Outreach Space in Albany or Lebanon
- Haircut partnership in Linn County
- Fundraising Committee members

Community Fundraisers &
Ongoing Ways to Give
|
|
Support local projects & businesses! |
|
Support with your "forget about it" purchases! |
|
Community Fundraisers are organized by individuals or groups whose proceeds benefit Jackson Street. We typically support these incredible efforts by marketing and promoting the events. These are great opportunities not only for you to contribute to Jackson Street by supporting community-based efforts, but they're great things to tell your colleagues, neighbors, friends, and family about! |
