🎻🎵 Classical music should be available to everyone.
That's what CSS volunteer Alice Blankenship believes. She's a violinist with the Eugene Symphony and the Oregon Mozart Players, and she recently brought her sound to the unhoused at the Access Center. Thank you, Alice!

It's bath time for Conestoga Huts!🧼🚿This summer, UO Duck Corps have been giving Hut exteriors some good scrubbing. Dustin (the staff taking the selfie 🤙), says, "It's encouraging to see a younger generation work against stereotypes about the unhoused and have an interest in helping their community."
