CLF Network

Way to go Lane County! 👏 Spring cleaning + community donations = hundreds of pounds of clothes for Henry D. Sheldon Alumni & Community (Oregon) students to receive at no cost! 👚👕

🌸 Our spring Clothes for Kids campaign finished on May 20, and even included some donations for middle school and elementary school-aged children.

💚 We could not do this clothing drive without the support of our partner organizations hosting donation barrels, and the generous donations of our community!

❗️Our Coats for Kids winter coats drive starts around September, so save those winter coats your kids are growing out of and watch for an announcement in a couple months about when and where to drop of your donations!

Last week, CLF Network members and guests volunteered for School Garden Project's famous Flannel Ball! We had a ball ourselves helping them to celebrate their 25th year of operation in Lane County.

School Garden Project empowers children through hands-on learning in science, food cultivation, and stewardship of garden ecosystems. They partner with schools in the 4J, Springfield, Junction City, and Bethel districts, teaching kids all about how to grow their own food. CLF Network is always excited to work with them, whether through volunteering for their flannel-themed gala, granting funds for their essential programs, or cleaning up garden beds.

Don't forget to join us for our upcoming Beer Call & Social with CLF Network!, where the incoming executive team will buy everyone's drinks for two hours!

On Tuesday CLF Network was joined by Past President Jesse A. Howes,. Jesse joined us for our annual kickoff of Children's Charity Raffle. He shared his secrets to selling raffle ticket books and mixed in some stories from all of his years in the organization. We appreciate the tradition of Jesse helping kick off the project!

If you haven't bought your raffle ticket books be sure to send us a message and one of our members will get you tickets ASAP!

Make sure you have all of the upcoming CLF events on your calendar and we hope to see you at our upcoming elections and Beer Call & Social with CLF Network!
