Thanks to Citizens Bank volunteers
Connections365.org in a news release thanked Citizens Bank for sending volunteers to help remove a tree, cut wood and clean up the damage from the ice storm. The youth at Connetions365 live on site were not allowed to walk around the therapeutic path or gardens until Jim Vu and his team volunteered their bodies, minds in a spirit of teamwork, collaboration and just hard work into our campus, the nonprofit stated in the release.
Connections365 serves youth age 7-20 through therapeutic foster care, mentoring, residential services and mental health counseling.

The Corvallis City Council has agreed to appropriate more than $360,000 in federal funds for services that will largely help the homeless.
Thatâs the good news on the cityâs fight against homelessness. The bad news is that Corvallis Mayor Biff Traber announced at Mondayâs remote meeting that plans by the Unity Shelter group to put together a managed camping facility near the BMX park have collapsed.
Unity Shelter, which manages the menâs shelter and hygiene center, the womenâs shelter and the micro shelters at the First United Congregational Church of Christ, had hoped to open a managed camping facility with new tents on platforms, case management and a warming hut.
