🇺🇸 Honoring All Who Served 🇺🇸

Today, we pause to honor all veterans—past and present—for their courage, sacrifice, and dedication to protecting our freedoms.

At Siskiyou Community Health Center, we extend special gratitude to the veterans within our SCHC family. Your service to our country and continued service to our community inspire us every day.

Thank you for all you’ve given—and continue to give.

SCHC Early Childhood Support
1201 NE 7th Street, Suite A, Grants Pass

Siskiyou Community Health Center’s Early Childhood Support program is hosting playgroups for parents and children. Playgroups can offer benefits for both children and caregivers. Playgroups allow children to try out new toys and activities, learn how to play with other children, encourage them to work on their language and communication skills, build their confidence, and promote happiness while building their social skills. Playgroups allow caregivers to socialize with other parents, learn more about child development and other fun events happening in the community. All activities will align with the ages the event is geared towards. Snacks will be provided at each event.

💙 Bringing More Smiles on the Road!

Thanks to the HRSA Oral Health Workforce Grant, our Siskiyou Smiles CareVan has a brand-new look!

This remodel helps us expand access to dental care and oral health education for children and families throughout our rural communities. With updated equipment, a fresh layout, and a welcoming new design, we’re better equipped than ever to bring quality care where it’s needed most.

A big thank-you to Jon McElfresh at the Oregon Health Authority and everyone who continues to support community-based oral health programs. Together, we’re making it easier for every smile to shine!

🌽 Supporting Our Community During the SNAP Benefit Delay

Siskiyou Community Health Center stands with our community during this challenging time as families face delays in SNAP (food stamp) benefits. No one should have to worry about where their next meal will come from.

If you or someone you know is experiencing food insecurity, please know that help is available right here in our community:

🥦 Josephine County Food Bank — Beginning November 4, a pop-up food pantry will be available every Tuesday, 6:00–7:30 PM, at the YMCA (1000 Redwood Ave, Grants Pass) until benefits are restored.

🍎 Grants Pass Growers Market — Offering Emergency Double Up Food Bucks for all Oregon Trail Card holders. Get up to $20 to spend on local produce every market day (NW 4th & F Street).

🍔 Blaze-N-Monkey’s Food Truck — Offering free meals for kids until benefits are reinstated. Stop by the truck for a hot meal, no questions asked.

🥫 Local Food Banks — Our regional food pantries are stepping up to meet increased needs. If you’re able, please donate or volunteer to help our neighbors in need. Visit United Way’s “Food is FUNdamental” campaign to contribute:

👉 https://giving.classy.org/campaign/739050/donate
