The Coos County Maslow Project will be opening soon at 760 S. 2nd Street in Coos Bay, next to The Repair Source. The project is a collaboration of the Oregon Department of Education, the Coos County Public Schools, the Coos County Commission on Children and Families and the original Maslow Project in Medford, Oregon.
Maslow Project is a goal-oriented resource center serving homeless and at-risk for homeless youth, school-aged through 21. We provide basic needs, as well as on-site access to a variety of services from community partners. Maslow Project helps youth establish educational, employment, and personal development goals while providing wrap-around case-management services to assist youth in attaining those goals. See www.maslowproject.com for more information.
Our facility is in need of some sprucing up and Café Cardinal is donating half of the earnings from their June 11th BBQ to our Maslow Project. A $7 per lunch donation is suggested, or 3 lunches for $20. Free delivery is available for multiple orders, so call Raye at 404.0161 to place your lunch order today!
Schools Receive Healthy Award
Millicoma and Blossom Gulch schools each received awards from the Alliance for a Healthier Generation for creating a healthier environment for students and staff. Both schools have worked hard for years through their School Health Advisory Councils to develop action plans with strategies designed to encourage students, staff and families to be active and healthy.
Students are encouraged to eat healthy at school, learn healthy strategies in the classroom, witness their teachers engaging in more healthy behaviors, and to be physically active.
This is the second year Blossom was recognized, receiving a Bronze Award last year and a Silver Award this year. Millicoma received a Bronze award.
