Latino Community Association
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) The Latino Community Association has received a $12,000 boost in June from the Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation of Roseburg to support its efforts to equip Central Oregon Latinos with job skills and help finding employment.
LCA’s workforce education program teaches English and computer skills (currently online) and offers one-on-one support to navigate job applicants through setting goals, refining their resumes, applying for jobs or applying for a business license. With this help, workers can gain higher-paying jobs to build wealth and provide better housing, food, and health care for their families.
Family Access Network Receives $7,500 from Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation
The Family Access Network (FAN) received a $7,500 grant in support of FAN Advocate services in Deschutes County from Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation in July 2020. These funds will help connect disadvantaged children and their families to crucial resources like rent assistance, clothing, food, healthcare, and much more.
“Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation’s steadfast support of FAN over the years is truly inspiring. They have improved the lives of countless Oregon families, and played a vital role in ensuring children’s basic needs were met during this particularly difficult year.”
