CSC Participates in Benton County Project Resource Connect

Patty, Paul and Dina help a visitor at Resource Connect
Members of CSC's Housing department participated in the fourth annual Benton County Project Resource Connect on November 16. The event brings together nonprofits and government agencies in an effort to provide low-income and homeless residents services for things like food, housing, medical care and dental work, legal assistance, parenting programs and GED classes.

Patty Wachs, Paul Barnes, and Dina Eldridge were on hand to spread information about CSC's housing programs, including the new Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program, which helps veterans that are homeless or at risk of being homeless. 

For more information, you can read the story about the event in the Corvallis Gazette-Times: http://bit.ly/1iQUf16. For information about the SSVF program, contact Paul Barnes at pbarnes@communityservices.us. For information about CSC's Housing program, contact Dina Eldridge at deldridge@communityservices.us.

Welcome to CSC's blog and e-newsletter!

These communications tools can be used to make announcements, acknowledge donors and volunteers, post videos and slideshows–whatever we want to share with our online community.

There are 3 ways to deliver info to stakeholders:

  1. The blog itself, which can be linked to our current website
  2. Email news blasts (blog articles sent via email as eNewsletters)
  3. RSS Feed (subscribers read in Google Reader or other feed reader, can also send posts to Facebook and Twitter)
We're excited about these communication tools and look forward to both your input and feedback for continuing improvement and positive information-sharing.

If you have agency/program information you'd like posted on this blog, please send full text and/or photos and videos, ideas, or suggestions to Janet Hessel and she will take the next steps.

Enjoy!
