Two community resources centers will be available this weekend for residents affected by the ice storm.

Community members will be able to warm up and:

  • Access hot meals
  • Take snacks and food boxes to go
  • Charge their devices
  • Connect with service providers such as Senior and Disabled Services, trauma services, Medicaid services, housing resources, and others

Lane Transit District will provide free rides to those traveling to the community resource centers.

Lane County will also be collecting information related to property damage and ongoing needs for assistance. Collecting this information will help target resources where they are most needed and help agencies better understand the long-term recovery needs of the community.

Information about other warming centers is available at www.LaneCountyOR.gov/warming.

The resource centers are being made available through a partnership among Lane County, the Oregon Department of Human Services, the City of Springfield, and the City of Eugene.
