FINANCIAL SUPPORT RESOURCES

Family- Community Resource Center

Did you know that Camas has a family-community resource center? The FCRC was opened in the Spring of 2018 and is housed at the Jack, Will, and Rob center, also known as JWR. Olivia Eagle is the FCRC Coordinator and they are open from 10:30 - 12:30 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. For more information, please click here.

Holiday Support

The holiday season can be an expensive time for families and for those whose resources are already tight, this can be an overwhelming time of year. We are very fortunate to have many resources in the Clark County area to help ease this burden.

Santa’s Posse provides food and some gifts for 1,000 Clark County families during the Holiday season. The Santa’s Posse program is run by the Clark County Sheriff’s Office. If you would like to help with this program, they are collecting non-perishable food items and unwrapped toys for kids, ages 0-17. If you could use support from this program, please go to bit.ly/2PwwGmp. Items will be delivered on Dec. 16, 2018 between 8am-12pm. An adult must be home to accept the items.

The C.A.R.O.L. program is run by the Camas-Washougal Fire Department. This program offers holiday food baskets and gifts to families in Camas and Washougal. If you would like to help with the C.A.R.O.L. program, they are collecting non-perishable food items and unwrapped toys for kids, ages 0-16. Donations can be dropped off at the Camas-Washougal Fire Department (the entrance is on Franklin St.) If you could use support from this program, please call (360) 834-2262 ext. 1 between Nov. 26th and Dec. 19th.
