Ashland Community Resource Center Opens!

HELPING PEOPLE HELP THEMSELVES SPRING 2014
Ashland Community Resource Center Opens!
O
n February 11, 2014, the
new Ashland Community
Resource Center opened its
doors. A major focus of the help
center is to connect those in need
with organizations and agencies
that offer services. A few of those
resources include case management,
help with resumes, resource referrals,
use of a mailing address, bus passes,
restrooms and hygiene supplies,
cellphone charging and Internet access. There is also a
mobile trailer that features showers and laundry facilities
that will be located throughout Ashland. The new
center offers services in a clean, safe environment where
everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
Through a $100,000 grant from the Ashland City Council,
ACCESS and the grassroots group, Options for Homeless
Residents of Ashland (OHRA), are leasing space in the
Ashland Masonic Center. The center is located at 570
Clover Lane near Exit 14 and the Ashland Emergency
Food Bank. The center operates Tuesday through
Saturday, 9am to 1pm.
“Our aim is to have a one-stop location where anyone
can come and connect with a variety of community
resources,” says ACCESS Support Services Director David
Mulig. “Once these folks are no longer worried about
the day-to-day struggle of life on the streets, homeless
people can stabilize their lives and start working on
the issues that make it difficult to find employment or
housing.”
Leigh Madsen, who is the center’s part-time manager
also stated, “We’re going to be a great resource!”
“It’s wonderful. It’s a dream come true,” said Councilor
Carol Voisin.
Volunteers are needed to work at the center and
to help with the mobile showering and laundry
unit. Those who would like to volunteer at the
new Ashland Community Resource Center,
can contact Regina Ayars at 541-482-5019 or
email her at reginariley@jeffnet.org. Also see
www.homelessoptions.org for more information
and to get volunteer application and release forms.
Mail completed volunteer application forms to
Ashland Community Resource Center, 570B Clover
Lane, Ashland, OR 97520.
Property owners or managers who would like more
information on renting to at-risk or homeless people
can call David Mulig at 541-774-4313.

I have been making frequent
trips up and down Interstate 5
in conjunction with my ACCESS
responsibilities, attending meetings
in Roseburg, Salem and Portland.
As I drive, I enjoy watching the
landscape change with the seasons.
During the most recent trip, I
noticed the mountain meadows
turning green again with winter
rains, trees sprouting leaf buds and
streams running full.
It reminds me that communities and
organizations also thrive through
changing seasons and conditions.
In the past few months, our federal
landscape has changed as Congress
passed a budget for the first time
in years. For the people ACCESS
helps, there were some pluses and
minuses to that. Our programs to
help residents heat and weatherize
their homes received a little more
support. People who must rely
on SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program) to feed their
families through tough times are
going to get less help. Our food
pantry network cannot completely
fill the gap left by a family losing
enough money to feed an adult one
meal for a month.
Preparation is beginning for our
Food Share Gardens, located
throughout Jackson County, with
generous help from volunteers and
donors. Donations are coming in
from seed companies, composting
sites and tool manufacturers, among
others. These donations help us
equip the volunteer gardeners with
everything they need to grow fresh
food for their neighbors.
We take pride in our client
successes as we watch people
who are struggling achieve their
dreams through hard work and
perseverance – purchase a home,
start a business, enroll in higher
education. For ACCESS, these are the
equivalent of green meadows and
all of the volunteers and donors who
take part in ACCESS have a share in
this success.
ACCESS Executive Director
Dutch Love Story
D
utch Bros. held their annual “Dutch
Luv” food drive this past Valentine’s
Day. Food was collected at their Josephine
and Jackson County locations. All food
donated in Jackson County went to feed
the hungry through the ACCESS Pantry
Network of 25 pantries. All totalled, the
Jackson County Dutch Bros. stores collected a record breaking number of 24,762
pounds of food to ACCESS! On behalf of everyone here at ACCESS and all of our
food pantries, we’d like to thank you for your wonderful community support.

ACCESS Welcomes New Finance Director
A
CCESS is
pleased
to announce
that Greg
Koziara
has been
appointed
as the new
Finance
Director. After
graduation
from high school, Greg joined the
United States Air Force, earned a
number of degrees and served as
a Financial Specialist for 23 years.
He was stationed throughout the
world in places like Spain, Turkey,
Italy, Greenland, Cyprus and
Germany.
“Mr. Koziara’s long experience in
complex fiscal environments will
be a great asset as our programs
grow in size and complexity,” says
T
ACCESS Executive Director Jackie
Schad.
“I’ve spent most of the last 30
years serving my country as either
a member of the armed forces,
a contractor or a civil servant.
During that period, no matter
where I was throughout the world,
I frequently volunteered in the local
community. I feel that working
for ACCESS, with its exceptional
reputation, is another way for
me to serve the community. In
addition, during the interview
process, it became evident to
me that my values matched
those of ACCESS, leading me to
believe I would fit well into the
organization,” said Greg. “I already
see that I am fortunate enough to
have enthusiastic, knowledgeable
and dedicated colleagues to ease
my transition.”
Greg says he is passionate about
golfing, fishing, traveling, fitness
activities and his family. He and
his wife Rita and their Golden
Retriever, Ruby, moved up to the
Rogue Valley recently and have
settled in Grants Pass. “We have
found Oregon to be a special
place,” he says. “The beauty of
the green forests, the welcoming
people, the climate, and most of
all our friends, have made this a
wonderful transition for our family.
We look forward to exploring the
Rogue, the many wineries, music
at the Britt, hiking the Oregon
trails and being part of the Oregon
community.”
All of us here at ACCESS welcome
Greg!
Tim Johnson - ACCESS Board Member
imothy Johnson grew up in
South Central Los Angeles and
graduated from USC and UCLA.
His background is a reflection of
his curiosity and impatience. In
his (former) life in California, he
was a city council member, served
on the California Regional Water
Quality Control Boards, served on
the executive committee of the
Southern California Council of
Governments, has been manager
of an irrigation company, was a
field representative for a state and

grower. Currently, in Oregon,
he is on the board of Rogue
Community College, a volunteer
firefighter/EMT, a member of his
Rotary Foundation board, and
recently concluded eight years
as a volunteer chaplain at Rogue
Regional Medical Center.
In December, Tim became a
member of the ACCESS Board of
Directors, too. “I gladly accepted
a position as an ACCESS board
member after watching the great
work of local volunteers in the
Applegate and learning from my
fellow Rotarians about the other
areas that ACCESS is involved in
such as housing,” says Tim.
Tim loves to travel with his wife
Mary. After having done some
field work in Jordan, Scotland
and Spain in the past three years,
he considers himself an amateur
archaeologist, too.

Profile: J.R. Wheeler
“
When I was
growing up
my family farmed
potatoes in the
Klamath Basin,”
says J.R. Wheeler.
“I’ve driven
tractors, cut
hay, baled hay,
etc. Soon after I
finished my degree at Sacramento
State my grandfather sold the
farm and all of its assets. That led
me to search for work outside of
my comfort zone. My work history
consists of being a Sports Marketing
Assistant at the University of
Oregon, Sport Manager at Special
Olympics of Northern California and
numerous positions within Wells
Fargo Bank where I currently work
as a Commercial Banker focusing
on middle market companies and
agriculture companies that have
depository and lending needs.”
In February, J.R. Wheeler became a
new member of the ACCESS Board of
Directors. He explains, “I have been
active with ACCESS for the past 5
years working on the Mayors United
committee. I have since taken over
as the Co-Chair of the committee
and look forward to growing this
event.” J.R. is also active with Rocky
Mountain Elk Foundation, Habitat
for Humanity and is currently the
Chairperson at the Grants Pass
Chamber of Commerce.
J.R. is also an avid outdoors person.
His favorite things to do are
fishing and hunting (big game and
waterfowl). Outside of those sports
he enjoys spending time with his
wife of ten years and his two children
Boston and Lainie. Oh….and a one
year old yellow lab named Gus. The
whole family is very active and enjoys
many types of sports including
football, basketball, gymnastics and
softball/baseball. J.R. himself waterskied competitively beginning at the
age of eight and was the captain of
his water ski team in college.

Community Gardens
feeds Nutrition
T
o paraphrase the old saying, “Give a man some food and he eats
for a day. Teach a man to grow food and he eats for a lifetime.”
The Southern Oregon Research and Extension Center (SOREC)
teaches people how to grow food.
In partnership with ACCESS, SOREC hosts a Food Share Garden on the
grounds of the research and extension center on Hanley Road. Many
Master Gardener volunteers assist with that garden, which last year
delivered 4,340 pounds of fresh food to ACCESS.
Master Gardeners, one of the more than a half-dozen programs at
Extension, provide volunteer help at many of the ACCESS Food Share
community gardens and provide assistance to people who wish to grow
their own food in backyard gardens. Much of that extra produce grown
is donated to ACCESS through the nationally recognized Plant A Row for
the Hungry program. Community members also have an opportunity
to learn safe food preservation through the Master Food Preservers
program at Extension. Services offered through the OSU Extension
program assist landowners in Jackson County with all kinds of research
and education, providing an opportunity for surplus crops to increase
ACCESS food shares.
More than the actual produce that comes from community gardens,
however, is the sense of community and responsibility that comes
from working with others to grow your own food. Digging into the
dirt with friends and neighbors, watching and helping things grow, and
sharing in the harvest brings people together in a wonderful way. The
Extension’s program in 4-H fosters this sense of community in our youth
and grows not just gardens, but future leaders.
As we move into spring weather and the growing season begins,
contact Nan King, Food Share Garden Coordinator at ACCESS,
541-779-6691 ext. 309, freshaccess@accesshelps.org, to help in one of
our Food Share Gardens.
To learn more about the Master Gardener program and growing plants
in our climate zone, call OSU Extension (541-776-7371). We hope you’ll
be inspired to get into the garden and help grow the food that feeds
our community.

Moving to Oregon
Brings New Challenges
C
aroline is a native of Utah,
and a 40-year old mother of
three children. After working
for years as a LPN nurse in her
hometown, Caroline and her family
packed up their apartment and
moved to Oregon.
Her husband got a new job in the
area driving an 18-wheeler. She had
heard about lots of opportunity in
healthcare jobs in Oregon. In his
first week on the new job, Caroline’s
husband was badly injured in an
accident. Not only would he be
unable to go back to work quickly,
but it was obvious that he may be
permanently disabled.
After some difficulties in getting her
LPN certification transferred and
active to work in Oregon, Caroline
was able to find a low-paying job at
a local care facility. It took months
to get her husband’s disability
assistance started. To save money,
her family moved into a single-wide
mobile home with a struggling
single mother they had met, who
also had three children. Three adults
(one disabled), and six children,
living in a mobile home.
was a real relief to know that my kids
would have food to eat. I’m really
not sure where we’d be without the
food bank.”
Needless to say, it was not the life
any of them had been hoping
for. One major silver lining for the
family was the ability to visit one
of ACCESS’s pantries in Medford
and get some of the basic food
necessities they needed to remain
healthy. Meats, vegetables, fruits,
rice, cereal, juice, and even a few
treats for the kids were part of their
allotment. “The ACCESS food bank
was a godsend,” says Caroline. “It
If you need food assistance please
call ACCESS at 541-779-6691.
Caroline’s story is not at all unusual.
Families from all over the nation
come to our community seeking
a better life, and are often handed
circumstances they did not count on.
ACCESS Helps Young Family During Tough Times
K
risten
and Jay
had been
living a pretty
good life for
more than six
years. They
were young,
educated and
both worked at
jobs they liked. They rented a large
apartment in Medford in an area
where they wanted to live. They had
one child in daycare and one older
child in school.
When Kristen found out that her
company was down-sizing their
situation changed quickly. They had
to start cutting back in any way they
could think of and sacrificed a lot of
things we all take for granted. Kristen
began looking for a new job right
away, but was not successful. Then
a month later, Jay learned that his
job too was going to disappear. The
family was facing a real catastrophe.
Jay had to take on any odd job he
could find. But, he was unable to
keep up with rent, food, gas and all
the other expenses of a household.
Eventually, the couple sold Kristen’s
wedding ring to be able to cover the
rent.
Jay says, “At a certain point I realized
we needed help with getting some
food. It was a humbling experience,
but we had no choice.” They were
able to get through some of their
toughest times by getting help
from an ACCESS pantry at the
First Christian Church in Medford.
They could also get diapers and
other items they needed. “On
Thanksgiving, we did not have a
turkey, so I sort of formed one out of
four cans of tuna,” says Kristen. “Jay
and I pretended it was the greatest
thing and the kids loved it.”
Both Jay and Kristen are working
again and back on their feet
financially. They made it through
their ordeal with the help of the
caring people in the Rogue Valley.
“We will never forget the generosity
we received at the pantry,” says
Kristen. “I was scared to death, but
everyone there made me feel so
comfortable and accepted.”
ACCESS distributed 3.14 million
pounds of food in FY-2013. We help
families like Jay and Kristen every
day. Call ACCESS at 541-779-6691.

ACCESS Honors Local Heroes
for Their Relief Efforts
PacificCorp, Lifetime Achievement Award. They have been a partner with ACCESS for over a

Weatherizes
Homes
M
any people are surprised to
find out that ACCESS provides
low-income clients, (especially
seniors), people with disabilities,
and families with children, with nocost energy efficiency upgrades to
their homes through the installation
of insulation, duct repairs, air
infiltration, mechanical ventilation,
and various other energy efficiency
measures. The program is funded
primarily by federal, state, and
utility-based dollars.
• Invested $1,040,000 into the local economy with the purchase of materials
and services.
Almost a third of the ACCESS
budget goes towards
weatherization and energy
assistance. Employees at ACCESS
assist applicants in finding ways
to block heat-stealing drafts, and
to install improved insulation that
lowers their heating costs. This
way clients utility bills can actually
decrease.

BRINGING COOKING SKILLS Greystone Says
THANK YOU!
TO THE
I
Community
I
n Jackson County we are lucky to
have a wonderful array of fresh
fruits, vegetables and whole, local
foods. However, not everyone is
experienced in how to prepare
and cook such foods. Everyone,
regardless of their income level,
can benefit from knowing how to
prepare whole local foods. ACCESS,
in partnership with OSU Extension,
THRIVE and Ashland Food CoOp, have created a program that
addresses the need for food skills
education in the community and is
focused on well trained and valued
volunteers.
ACCESS is looking to offer cooking
demonstrations at a variety of sites
around the community from food
pantries and apartment complexes
to health centers and places of
business. Anywhere there is a
captive audience, we want to be
there demonstrating how to cook
up simple and very tasty recipes
from whole, fresh foods with the
emphasis on vegetables, fruits
and grains.
A corps of volunteers is being
trained to give cooking
demonstrations throughout
Jackson County to pursue the
goal of inspiring everyone to eat
more local, whole foods. Volunteers
receive free training, taught by
ACCESS Food Skills Educator,
Michele Pryse, in exchange for their
time and commitment to helping
bring cooking skills out to the
community. If you have a passion to
cook and would like to volunteer OR
if you have a site in the community
f you went to the Greystone
Court Food Drive on any of the
five nights before Christmas, we at
ACCESS thank you for your generous
participation and help in continuing
this wonderful holiday tradition.
Altogether you, the community,
donated 8,793 pounds of food
to help feed local families and
$18,503.89 in cash donations.
ACCESS would also like to say a huge
thank you to all of the Greystone
Court residents for their incredible
holiday gift called the Greystone
Court Food Drive and much
appreciation for spending long hours
on the cold winter nights leading
up to Christmas collecting food and
money. We hope to see you next year!

Agency Spotlight : Helping Folks
with Medical Equipment They Need
G
len welcomes and assists the
Jackson County residents
who come to ACCESS in need of
a wheelchair, crutches, and lots of
other types of medical equipment.
“I enjoy helping people by filling
their equipment needs. I find it
very gratifying when the client says
thank you; it makes me proud to
be a part of an organization like
ACCESS that helps people in this
way,” he says.
ACCESS collects new or gently
used medical equipment and
loans it to those who need it for
8
free. Wheelchairs, walkers, shower
chairs, crutches, hospital beds, gait
belts portable toilets and more
are at the ready. All people have
to do is fill out a form and they
can borrow the equipment for as
long as they need without paying
anything. People often think the
set up is too good to be true, that
that’s exactly how it works.
Glen. “I issue out available
equipment and instruct folks on
the proper use of each item. I also
take in donations, clean and adjust
the items. “There is a real need for
what ACCESS does and I’m glad
that I’m able to be a part of that,”
says Glen.
ACCESS accepts monetary
donations for the program as
“I was in the medical equipment
well as gently used medical
business for 28 years, so when the equipment. The program is open

A Special Holiday for
ACCESS Employees
O
n Christmas Eve the Olsrud Nutrition
Center at ACCESS was full of holiday
cheer. What was supposed to be our
simple employee holiday party turned
into a gift we at ACCESS couldn’t be more
grateful for. Sunrise Cafe donated a full
Christmas lunch for the staff at ACCESS.
Ed Chun, the co-owner of the restaurant,
organized the event. He reached out to
other businesses and was able to come
up with two-thousand dollars worth of
gift- bag stuffers to give to our employees. John Watt, the board chairman
at ACCESS said he was very grateful for the support. “When you see
what these folks do and the challenges we go through each and every
day to help people in our community, it means more than I can put into
words,” he said. Ed also donated $500 to ACCESS which would have been
the equivalent of his catering fee! The staff at ACCESS thanks Ed for his
kindness and thoughtfulness.
THANK YOU
Making Every Dollar Count
I
t’s obvious that food donations are important to ACCESS, but did you
ever wonder why ACCESS needs cash donations or what we do with
them? ACCESS uses your cash donations to make sure we can fight
hunger throughout the year by purchasing food during times when
food donations are lower than anticipated. We are also able to round
out our pantries by purchasing fresh chicken, ground beef/turkey and
other items at prices only available to food banks, much cheaper than
prices for the general public. Our purchasing power means your cash
donation stretches that much further.
Donating online is increasingly popular among our donors and in
addition to being incredibly convenient and secure it helps keep
our administrative costs down. Due to the automation of processing
online donations, staff time is decreased. Of course, all contributions,
in whatever form they come—food, volunteering, in-kind services, and
even cash—are a critical
part of our success. We
can’t do it without you. You
are the main ingredient
in fulfilling our mission of
providing food, shelter
and warmth to low income
residents.

Pacific Power and Oregon HEAT Use Recycled Oil
Proceeds to Help Neighbors Stay Warm
P
acific Power is teaming up with
organizations across Oregon,
turning thousands of gallons of
used motor oil into cash to help their
neighbors in need throughout the
state.
The partner that makes this all
work is Oregon HEAT, which has
been recycling oil into assistance
since 2009. Companies or local
government agencies with fleets
of vehicles, or local garages and
dealerships, donate the old motor
oil leftover from oil changes. The
oil is then cleaned and resold
with the proceeds used to help
Oregon families who need financial
assistance to keep warm.
“Oregon HEAT’s oil recycling
program is a tremendous example
of how recycling pays many
dividends,” said Monte Mendenhall
Pacific Power’s regional community
manager. “Our company alone has
nearly 800 vehicles of all shapes
and sizes in Oregon, busy every day
serving customers. It’s great that
the oil that keeps them running
smoothly can have a second life
funding help that’s so important
to individuals and families in our
communities.”
The funds from Pacific Power
motor oil donation, like all those
in the program, will go toward
families in the communities where
the vehicles operate. Pacific Power
operates service centers in eight
communities in Oregon, including
Roseburg, Klamath Falls, Albany,
Bend, Medford, Astoria, Portland and
Grants Pass – where theOregon Heat
program operates.
In southern Oregon, other
participants include the City of
Grants Pass and Stanley Steamer
Carpet Cleaning in Phoenix. But
you can help as individuals and
businesses. Contact Oregon HEAT to
find out more.
“We are so excited to have Pacific
Power, one of our longest standing
energy partners, join our oil recycling
program,” said Joan Towers, Oregon
HEAT executive director. “We are
honored by the commitment Pacific
Power has made to our mission. With
their help and other businesses like
theirs thousands of Oregonians may
retain warmth and lighting.”
For more information or
to participate in the oil
recycling program, visit:
oregonheat.org/oil-recycling.
The oil recycling program is just
part of a long-standing partnership
between Oregon HEAT and Pacific
Power dedicated to helping
Oregon families stay warm. In 2013,
customers donated $56,784 and the
company has matched that amount
2-for-1 for an additional $113,568,for
a total of $170,352 helping Oregon
families.
Customers who need bill assistance
themselves can call Pacific Power
and a representative can help
develop payment plans that work for
them, or direct them to agencies that
may be able to help. Pacific Power’s
toll free customer service number is
1-888-221-7070.
From Renter to New Owner
“
I’ve been a renter my whole adult
life,” says Kelly. “I wanted to get out
of the rent trap and very much wanted
to live in an energy efficient dwelling.”
Kelly became interested in a “green”
affordable housing development in
Ashland that a friend told her about.
After some research she found out
that part of the application process
required her to attend a first time
homeowner’s education class.
Through an internet search she found
ACCESS. Donna Lea at ACCESS signed
her up for a class at ACCESS and she
attended. “The workshop contained a
wealth of information and resources
10
for potential first time home buyers
like me,” she explained.
Afterwards, Donna Lea helped Kelly
find the resources that she was eligible
to apply for and helped her with the
applications and keeping the ball
moving ahead. “The process became
a real nail biter at some points,”
explained Donna Lea. But, Kelly did
a great job. You really need to have
tenacity to survive this type of loan
financing!”
“Buying the home ranks as one of my
life’s biggest challenges and I could
not have done it without help, said
Kelly. I would not be where I am today,
in this warm and comfortable home,
were it not for the support and hard
work of many individuals that helped
me along my path to home ownership.
ACCESS and Donna Lea played an
essential role in this endeavor. Donna
Lea was there every step of the way,
encouraging and supporting my goal.
She made herself 100% available to
me to answer my questions, help
with paperwork, coordinate efforts
between agencies and facilitated
my application and approval for the
closing costs assistance program
from Home $tart. I owe a wealth of
gratitude to ACCESS and in particular
to Donna Lea.

good investment.
Gifts can be made to the Endowment
Fund in any amount and can be
restricted or unrestricted. Donors of
$2,500 or more to the Endowment Fund
will be recognized on our Circle of Hope
