The CLF Network 2026 Coats for Kids campaign has officially kicked off! The CLF Network has set a lofty goal of collecting 2000 coats this holiday season!!

They cannot reach this goal without your help.

Please take a look at the barrel locations below and bring new or gently used winter coats and drop them off in the barrels/bins. Every coat from this drive stays in Lane County and helps a kid in need in our community.

Please help us ensure every kid in our community has a warm winter coat!

Here are all locations you can drop off coats to:
All UPS Store locations- Eugene and Springfield
All OCCU locations
Adventure Children's Museum
The Bier Stein
Campbell Community Center
Chick-fil-A Gateway and Randy Pape Beltline
Eugene Swim & Tennis
Family Vision Center, Eugene
First Baptist Church of Eugene
KEZI 9 News
Knights of Pythias
Level Up
People's Bank of Commerce
Slocum Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine
Summit Bank (Broadway)

If you have a lot of coats and want them picked up, send us a message.

Also a big thank you to one our title sponsors KEZI 9 News for their promotion of the project and

Thank you Arbor South Architecture for all your work in making this happen!!

The Hosea Cottages in Springfield have officially received their permit! Designed for Hosea Youth Services, this cottage cluster will provide housing and community for adolescents exiting homelessness.

We’re grateful to the City of Springfield, Oregon Government for working with us through the permitting process, and we want to recognize our own Javier Fregoso-Dueñas, pictured here, for the time and care he has put into helping move this project forward under the leadership of Dan Hill.

There’s still plenty of work ahead, but we are beyond excited to reach this milestone. A longstanding partner, Dorman Construction, will be building and managing the project, which consists of 14 individual cottages and a community building.

Bob Welch recently wrote more about Hosea’s work and the vision behind this project. We’ve added the article in the comments below.

When we wanted to take a group of young people to the coast for a fun "Hosea Family Day" but, ran into a snap, we needed a way to get them there with staff. Well we are so grateful for the team at Willamette Pass who heeded the call and not only showed up with a van but also our own personal driver. It really was a lovely day and a gift to our young people who had smiles from ear to ear.

We look forward to a trip to the mountains this winter and so thankful for our tribe...our people. Community is key and we are so thankful for our community who make things like this possible so that our young people can live lives of health and purpose.

Truly thankful for our amazing volunteers who dedicate their time over and over again even when it's hard. So, thank you all for all that you do for the youth in our community. We can't do this work alone. If you have extra time and want to do something rewarding with that time, let us know. https://www.deltarotary.org/?p=stories&storyid=322694
