I’m pretty sure I could not sustain the degree of suffering that some members of my community undergo, especially on bitter cold nights. The unhoused are chronically unequipped to meet their basic needs. We’re all kin, so I owe it to them to show up and do my part.
I do this by serving at Egan Warming Centers.
Egan urgently needs folks of reasonable health and a heart for humanity to go through training and sign up for a shift. Inconvenient, sure, but not a deal-breaker.
Next Zoom trainings are Tuesday, Dec. 15, at 7 pm, and Thursday, Dec. 17, at 6 pm. Email EganWarmingCenter@svdp.us for details.
Here’s my offer: Any Eugene or Springfield elected official, county commissioner or other local public figure who signs up for training, I personally pledge to accompany you through your first activation. Your involvement will echo large in the community.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
