Roofs Over Heads

Eviction protection, support for the unhoused, tenant education classes, and holistic housing supports for Veterans and their families.

RentWell tenant education classes inform participants about their rights and obligations as a tenant, and of their landlord.

Everybody Eats

Our Linn Benton Food Share (LBFS) program distributes food across a network of nearly 70 local food pantry and meal site partners in Linn and Benton Counties. In 2025, special partnerships with local farms comprised 810,456 lbs of all distributed food, investing tens of thousands of dollars into our regional agriculture and food sustainability economies. 

Demand for food services is at all-time highs, with food and program costs also higher than in LBFS history. Despite this, we were still able to serve more people with distributed food than in past years. LBFS relies on the generosity of our communities to continue to meet this growing need. Consider donating to support this impact.

Wrap-around services centered in stability to build stronger, more resilient futures.

Our suite of workforce and education programs served 2,204 individuals in 2025, investing over $7.8 million in wrap-around support services. These programs offer our most robust suite of services. There is no single cause, condition, or solution to poverty and homelessness. They intersect and go hand-in-hand.

Stories

The lobby is very clean, and the lady at the window is a sweetheart. The staff are very helpful, even if you don't meet the criteria for their program, they will give you other resources and places in the community that could help or point you in the direction on the path you need. It's most definitely a 5-star experience.

They had me in and out quickly. Filled out an application for energy assistance, talked with energy assistance, and was sent on my way with a pledge of payment to my power bill, all within 20 minutes? So grateful.
GabbyCSC Client
Everyone I have worked with has been encouraging and helped me implement a plan for me to really help me. I'm starting over - with little encouragement and support, and the people at CSC really do care. Thank you, CSC!
VictoriaCSC Client
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. I believe there is no greater food for the soul than helping people. I can honestly say that helping people has helped keep me alive. I would like to thank CSC, Linn Benton Food Share, and Gleaners for keeping me breathing. I am proud to be a part of something bigger than myself and paying it forward.
CookieCSC Client
I am a certified executive manager today because of the help I received from the Community Services Consortium. They helped me find temporary housing, assisted me with my utilities, then they helped me enroll in classes that I needed to obtain my security license. They even helped me with my first uniform I needed to start my new job.
FredCSC Client
When I reached out to CSC for energy assistance. The compassion these people showed to me was truly heartwarming. I cried tears because they made everything easy for me to understand the process and answered all my questions with clarity.
JacquelineCSC Client
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.
SuzannaCSC Client
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 couldn't have felt more understood. Each and every staff member treated me with understanding, dignity, and concern.
JacquelineCSC Client
I don’t have the words to describe my relief right now. My beautiful son can feel safe thanks to the support of your team!
TravisCSC Client
I lost everything a few years ago. My gratitude for your assistance is abundant. Thank you.
MaryCSC Client
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.
