Thrive Central Oregon

Thrive Central Oregon The mission of Thrive Central Oregon is to connect individual needs with community resources. Thrive is based on the Social Worker in the Library program.

We assist with critical connections to housing, physical and mental health services, employment, basic needs, and many more resources. Thrive Central Oregon meets families and individuals - our neighbors - in public spaces to connect them with the assistance they are looking for. There are many resources in Central Oregon, but the landscape can be difficult to navigate alone. We connect with folks

and utilize a holistic, individual-led approach to services, and in doing so we help access affordable housing and financial security in a sustainable and trauma-informed way. We want to create safe places for individuals to connect with community resources, including assistance and support in accessing housing, physical and mental health services, employment, and basic needs. Many individuals use libraries and other public spaces as a means to come in from the outdoors, relax, and use facilities & computers. Having a social worker available in these spaces increases connections between those in need and the community resources that exist to support them, and decreases stigma and alienation. Since September of 2015 Thrive has had the opportunity to collaborate with the Deschutes Public Libraries and partner with United Way of Deschutes County to provide easily accessible, one-stop, social service supports to community members in need.

El Día de los Niños/El Día de los Libros last week in Redmond! Outreach Advocate Maya met the Enchanted Forest theme 🧚🏽 and shared our resources info with the community 🏡❤️

Thank you to all who attended!
------------------------------------------
¡El Día de los Niños/El Día de los Libros la semana pasada en Redmond! Nuestra promotora comunitaria, Maya, se sumó a la temática del «Bosque Encantado» 🧚🏽 y compartió información sobre nuestros recursos con la comunidad 🏡❤️

¡Gracias a todos los que asistieron!

We haven't really shared here, but Thrive (and many nonprofits) continue to face funding impacts. Though we are forced to reduce our outreach sites, we continue to work through other facets of our community to assist those who need it most.

Check out our April impact!
------------------------------------------------------------
Realmente no lo habíamos compartido por aquí, pero Thrive (al igual que muchas organizaciones sin fines de lucro) continúa enfrentando repercusiones en su financiamiento. Aunque nos vemos obligados a reducir nuestros puntos de atención, seguimos trabajando a través de otras vertientes de nuestra comunidad para asistir a quienes más lo necesitan.

¡Echa un vistazo a nuestro impacto del mes de abril!
