Emergency Schedule for Catholic Community Services (CCS)
Both Eugene (1464 West 6th Ave.) and Springfield (1025 G Street) Community Service Centers will continue to provide food to the residents of Lane County.
- Monday, Wednesday, Friday – Open to the public 9:00am – 12:00pm for food box distribution.
- Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday – Closed to the public
This is certainly a difficult time for everyone but may be more so for the families that need the services of CCS. Staff hours have been cut by 25% to reduce contact and mitigate against the spread of the virus. However, CCS remains committed to maintaining pre-reduction levels of compensation in an effort to keep our employees at work, to enable them to care for their loved ones, and to help with the provision of vital services to our clients.
Please consider a one-time donation or commit to becoming a monthly donor so that CCS may continue to assist the most-needy in our community. Specific needs are as follows:
- To offset the costs of maintaining salary levels for staff and their families
- To offset the revenue lost from the cancellation of two fund raisers
- To assist with the costs of bags for food. CCS had to change the mode of food service from client-select to pre-packed bags. Over 400 bags are needed each of the three days a week that food service is provided. Recent donations of heavy-duty plastic bags from Walmart and Target have provided a bridge for food service but there will come a time when purchasing plastic bags will become necessary.
- Some new volunteers are needed on food-pantry days and at other times when bags are being pre-packed.
If you have time to volunteer or if you could help CCS with a donation, please go to www.ccslc.org
