Description

Portland State University's Native American Student and Community Center sits on Southwest Jackson Street — but not for long.

It’s likely that many people entering Portland State University’s Native American Student and Community Center never noticed its street address, said Tabitha Whitefoot, a former coordinator at the center.

MAYOR'S MESSAGE The Season of Giving Begins With Community As we enter the holiday season, I want to take a moment to recognize the many ways people throughout Coos Bay give back to our community. Local organizations, volunteers, businesses, and neighbors are preparing to help those who may need a little extra support in the weeks ahead. Food drives, holiday collections, community meals, and other charitable efforts are reminders of the generosity that exists right here at home. But the season of giving is about more than donations. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the many ways we support one another throughout the year. For some, giving means contributing to a local food pantry or purchasing a gift for a child whose family may be struggling. For others, it means volunteering a few hours, checking on an elderly neighbor, helping someone with a household task, or simply taking the time to make another person feel valued. These gestures may seem small, but they can make a meaningful difference. I also recognize that this season can be difficult for many households. With the everyday costs of housing, groceries, utilities, and other necessities, not everyone is in a position to contribute financially. Generosity, however, is not measured by the amount of money we give. Time, kindness, compassion, and a willingness to help are equally valuable. In a coastal community like ours, we understand the importance of looking out for one another. Whether it's helping a neighbor prepare for a winter storm, checking on someone during a power outage, or offering assistance when unexpected circumstances arise, we know that community support isn't limited to the holiday season. Much of this generosity happens without recognition or fanfare, yet it contributes to the kind of community we are fortunate to call home. As requests for charitable support increase during the holiday season, I encourage residents who are able to consider how they might make a difference. Whether you support an established organization, participate in a community project, or lend a hand to someone you know, every act of kindness has value. And while the holidays provide a special reminder of the importance of giving, the need for compassion and community involvement doesn't end when the decorations come down. As we begin this season of giving, I hope we can all find a way, large or small, to make a positive difference in someone's life. It is these everyday acts of kindness and generosity that help make Coos Bay a community we are proud to call home. Wishing you and your families a safe, peaceful, and meaningful start to the holiday season. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay
