| Final Report 2009-2010 |
For the 2009-2010 season the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Lane County (SVDP) served as the lead agency responsible for implementing the operation of the EWC. In partnership with the coalition, funding agencies, community organizations, and volunteers, SVDP achieved the following outcomes:
In total the Egan Warming Center housed 442 people on 11 nights.
Some basic statistics about guests:
• Over half (232) of the people served slept in the vehicle or on the street the night before they came to the Egan Warming Center.
• 20% of guests were women
• 20% had some kind of a disability
• 11% were veterans
The primary goal of the EWC was to provide people with a warm place to sleep, but many guests also received the following services:
• Food and hot beverages
• Referrals to social service agencies
• Access to coats, blankets, sleeping bags, and personal hygiene supplies
• Transportation to and from daytime service centers
The Egan Warming Center would not have been possible without the help of hundreds of volunteers:
• 500 people signed up to volunteer
• 350 people participated in a volunteer orientation
• 155 people volunteered at least one night at the Egan Warming Center
