Stories

Being able to reach out and have someone want to help you, in a kind, professional way makes you feel like a person. Which can be difficult when there is so much stacked against you. The impact is huge.
Emily & StevenCSC Clients
Your help has saved me from a very real threat of homelessness. In a time when so many ARE homeless, you stepped in and made all the difference in my life, for which I and my service animals are eternally grateful.
AnonymousCSC Client
This organization feeds people, helps with housing, keeps them warm, and many other services, but the most important thing is how they make each individual person feel they are heard and have value.
PattyCSC Client
I am a single mom of 6 and I normally work 50+ hours a week. Not only was I assisted beyond anything I could imagine, I was also given a sense of relief by the compassion for what they do.

With COVID affecting everyone, CSC has given us at North Santiam Gleaners, an opportunity to give to others a feeling of safety and security. CSC has been there to help all those in need.

I was under so much stress as the bills kept going higher and higher. Thank you so much for your financial assistance, words don’t express how much I appreciate it.

CSC has been a part of my life for almost two decades. At first, I was a participant. Now, I have found meaningful work with Gleaners and sit on the CSC Community Action Advisory Council.
