Central Oregon Villages is collecting donations now for a community yard sale this July, with proceeds directly supporting shelter operations and housing navigation services.

Central Oregon Villages is part of a regional system working to move individuals from instability into housing. At a recent City of Bend housing summit, data presented showed Central Oregon Villages achieving a 71% transition rate into permanent housing, the highest among local shelter programs in the region.

The organization is currently accepting donations of clean, gently used items for the upcoming yard sale. Items such as furniture, household goods, clothing, and small appliances are welcome. Non-functioning or heavily damaged items cannot be accepted.

Donation Drop-Off Location:

62125 NE Benson Way

Bend, OR 97701

Donations can be dropped off on-site or coordinated for pickup.

Central Oregon Villages provides emergency shelter, case management, and housing navigation services for individuals experiencing homelessness in Central Oregon, helping people stabilize, identify next steps, and transition into permanent housing. Its village-style sites operate as structured, substance-free environments with clear expectations that promote safety, accountability, and stability. Website: centraloregonvillages.org.
