2020 Events Calendar
SVdP's Agency Calendar is evolving along with the rest of society. Meanwhile, fundraising sustains services to low-income and unhoused people that are critical to the health and safety of our entire community. We welcome your ideas, and those of your networks! Contact Bethany Cartledge at 541.743.7153 or contact Bethany by email.
