Without the help and generosity of thousands of people each year, Community Supported Shelters could not meet the needs of people experiencing homelessness in Eugene, Oregon. It sounds cliché, but people like you truly, genuinely make our work possible!
Give Supplies
We can always use more supplies, especially during heat waves and winter months. We maintain an Amazon wishlist of the items we need most. When ordering, don’t forget to change the shipping address to our main office: 1160 Grant Street, Eugene, OR 97402.
If you'd like to make a firewood donation, please call 541-683-0836 or email office@cssoregon.org.

Volunteer
In the past, our incredible volunteers have built Conestoga Huts, prepared food for fundraising events, put on musical performances for community members, and more.

Host a Fundraiser
Launch a personal or group fundraiser! Birthdays, holidays, dinner parties, and special events can be great fundraising opportunities to make an impact on homelessness in our community. Many fundraisers are held virtually, such as on Facebook.
Have questions about hosting your own fundraiser? Contact community@cssoregon.org.
Adopt-a-Hut
Any individual, group, or organization that donates $3,000 or more can elect to have a Conestoga Hut dedicated in your name or the name of someone you choose.
A plaque is placed on a Hut as a lasting symbol of your meaningful support.

Give Through BottleDrop
