Services Offered in our community...
(**DUE TO COVID-19 TIMES AND LOCATIONS MAY VARY)
Cold Weather Shelter:
From Nov. 1 - March 15, an area church (with paid staff) will be open from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m. Cots and blankets will be provided, a hot meal will also be provided and will send them out in morning with a sack lunch. Contact the LINC office for more information, (541) 475-4446.
Annual “Point in Time” (homeless) Count & Resource Fair:
For 3 days at the end of January each year is our Tri-County “Point in Time” homeless count and Resource Fair. The more accurate count we can get and record, the more funding and resources we can receive to help those who are experiencing homelessness in Jefferson, Deschutes & Crook Counties. For many years, Madras Christian Church was the home of the annual Resource Fair, however, we found that we can serve more people and community booths in the gymnasium of the First Baptist Church.
Annual Community in the Park Event:
Many churches give back to our community the First Saturday in August each year by providing FREE services, including but not limited to… medical testing, dental check-ups, family portraits, car-washing, pet care, haircuts, beauty treatments, physical therapy, food & drinks and more!

LINC (Love In the Name of Christ) is an informational hub that connects people with resources in Jefferson County and beyond. They are there to help with basic living supplies, food, gas vouchers, short term housing options, firewood and much more. Their office is open Monday – Wednesday from 10am – 2pm. LINC is mostly staffed by volunteers and more reliable helpers are always welcomed. PH. (541) 475-4446
