Headquarters Needs More Protective Masks

Thank you to those who helped make 50 masks for our direct care programs! As things have continued with COVID 19 our needs for masks have increased. We are asking for more masks so that all our children, foster parents, and direct care staff can all stay safe. Anne Shevlin has offered her front porch as a drop off for the face masks. We are not posting Anne’s address online, so please refer to our membership books. Her email:ashevy@comcast.net if you have questions.

Update on Meals for Safe Place. Meals still needed for Thursday lunches & Monday dinners

Gift Cards for TLP & Compass.  It is an “ongoing” need. Please continue help if you can.

Thank you to those who have ordered Fred Meyer gift cards for our TLP and Compass clients! We’ve had over $500 in gift cards donated, which has been a huge help to our clients who have been laid off during this time. These young adults have an ongoing need for assistance with groceries, items for personal care, etc. We are asking Cypress members to help by purchasing Fred Meyer/Kroger gift cards online for clients. If you are interested in helping, please click on this link and follow these instructions:
