Microshelter Tours at the Corvallis Museum

by

The Secure Housing and Food for All team invites you to visit the Corvallis Museum to hear an in-depth talk and ask questions about how Unity Shelter is meeting the needs of unhoused people in Benton County.

Join staff from Unity Shelter for a gallery talk inside the microshelter on display at the Corvallis Museum! Learn more about this local program, and how they are helping people here in our community.

Three dates:
Friday, February 27th, 2026
Friday, March 6th, 2026
Friday, March 20th, 2026

Drop by between 2 – 3 pm for a 15 minute tour and talk by a Unity Shelter staff member.

Gallery talks are limited to 10 people and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The tours will repeat through the hour.

The Secure Housing and Food for All team would also like you to know that the South Corvallis Food Bank is still in need of food. Food that is easy to heat up and/or comes in pop-open cans is highly desired. The Corvallis Daytime Drop-in Center also needs donations of warm clothing.

Resources learned from Minnesota

by

The recent woes in Minnesota have taught many lessons and opened many eyes. Those who have learned and seen have wisdom to share, and we have the luxury of learning – and offering our support – from relative comfort. Here are some resources worth looking at, learning from, and sharing.

FreedomTrainers.net

Information and training about Collective Noncooperation and preparing for action before it’s needed.

Signal.org

An encrypted, secure messaging application, available on iPhone and Android. Read about installing Signal at this article: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360008216551-Installing-Signal/.

StandWithMinnesota.com

A directory of charitable efforts and works in Minnesota that need financial support. Itself a passion project, “just two ladies running this thing as volunteers”.

Migra Whistle PDX

Resources for 3D-printing whistles, information on how to use them, and instructions on building whistle packets to spread the information. If you decide to carry and use a whistle, please be sure you understand the patterns being used in your area. Blowing alarms no one understands won’t help!

We’ll see their interview of Erica Chenowith – acclaimed political scientist and author of Why Civil Resistance Works, and of the 3.5 threshold rule. Everyone is welcome.
