Hello everyone, this is Steve & Kelly, owners of Roseburg Grocery Outlet.
I'm sure you've heard the news of the federal shutdown affecting the EBT payouts for November.
This is going to put a strain on many of our community members.
Steve & I have been brainstorming the last few days on how we could help & we decided, starting on Nov. 1st, we are going to be giving a 10% discount on all groceries to those who have an EBT card through the end of November if the funds do not pay out.
We are also working with DHS & FARA to hold food drives at the store on Nov. 4th & 5th.
We'll also keep working with our community partners FISH Food Pantry& Dream Center to keep a steady supply of staples available.
While we know we're not a one stop shop for all, hopefully we can help alleviate some of the burden.
Thank you for supporting us at your locally owned & operated Roseburg Grocery Outlet ❤️

If you know FARA you know we have a big heart! We always want to help as many families we can. We believe that every family deserves the joy and warmth of Christmas, no matter their circumstances. Each year, we work to bring holiday cheer to our clients who may not otherwise have the opportunity to celebrate. We need YOU to help us help even more families this year!

We’re focusing on internal families within our community. We gather wish lists from each family member and carefully select gifts to make their Christmas morning special. But we need your help to make it all happen!

Some donations we need are:

Food
New Clothes
Toys and Books
Socks and Shoes

Monetary donations for our team to get some specific fun things for each family.

Would you consider supporting us in this heartwarming effort? Together, we can make sure no family goes without the joy of Christmas this year.

When it’s too dark to see the road ahead…

When hopelessness and fear are overwhelming…

When everything seems uncertain…

Dear survivors, I’m with you.

When you make hard choices to prioritize your wellbeing…

When you celebrate small but meaningful victories…

When you bravely raise your voice…

Dear survivors, I’m with you.

Did you know that creating art together can be a powerful tool for healing trauma?

In our woman's empowerment group: ETC we sometimes use art to offer a safe space to express emotions that words can't always capture. It helps rebuild trust, restore a sense of control, and create new, hopeful narratives. Sharing this experience reminds us that we're not alone.

The goal of ETC is to build women’s healing capacity and help them become stronger and healthier in life. This is a psycho-educational group; it is tailored to help you learn and practice new topics through skill-building and processing activities. Our goal is to walk this journey of healing with you, to help you in your understanding of “Your Story”.

For info about our ETC class please call the FARA office at (541) 229-0510
