Everyone can bring something to the table to help. Since 2016, thousands of community members have shown up in radically generous, creative, and loving ways. Individuals, families, churches, businesses, schools, and civic groups are all invited to join the story of hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Caring for Kids<\/strong><br>We are actively raising up new foster (resource) homes. There is a consistent need in Lane County for more safe, caring homes for children.  Last year, nearly 1,000 children spent time in foster care in Lane County. 70% spent time in more than one foster home. Caring for kids can happen in a variety of ways. <a href=\"https:\/\/everychildoregon.org\/lane\/get-involved\/foster\/\">Learn more.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meeting Tangible Needs<\/strong><br>The Every Child community is meeting the tangible needs of children impacted by foster care in multiple unique ways:<br><br>The My NeighbOR Program is a simple way to ensure the <em>emergency needs<\/em> of kids (beds, car seats, cribs, groceries, etc.) and <em>quality-of-life-improvement needs<\/em> (bike, stroller, birthday party) can be communicated to our community and quickly fulfilled. <a href=\"https:\/\/everychildoregon.org\/lane\/get-involved\/myneighbor\/\">Learn more.<\/a> Over 1,300 tangible needs have been met since 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Brighter Side Giving Store is a dignifying, free &#8220;shopping&#8221; experience for school-aged youth in crisis. Since launching in 2021, over 1,233 children have visited the store. You can donate clothing, host a clothing drive, or volunteer to help ensure the store remains a viable resource for children. <a href=\"https:\/\/everychildoregon.org\/lane\/store\/\">Learn more<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each holiday season, the community gathers to make Christmas memorable for 150+ children and their families. Since 2016, over 1,500 children have received Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Volunteering<\/strong><br>Giving your time is a meaningful way to help a child impacted by foster care. Recurring and one-time volunteer opportunities are available. Do you have a particular skill or passion? Connect with us. We will figure out how you can use that skill to bless a child or family in our community. <a href=\"https:\/\/everychildoregon.org\/lane\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/07\/Every-Child-Lane-County-2023-How-to-Get-Involved.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more.<\/a><br><br><strong>Giving<\/strong><br>Every Child Lane County is 100% funded by the generosity of Individuals, families, businesses, schools, civic groups, faith communities, and foundations.
