Nightingale is full!
By Blake Burrell • July 16, 2026
As Community Supported Shelters celebrates one year of operating the Nightingale Community, we are proud of the progress we’ve made together since last June. We want to thank the many guests who visited with our community members, worked in our gardens, and dropped off donations.
As we enter the summer season, the community has reached full occupancy! We're encouraged by the positive momentum at Nightingale and the many successes we've seen as all of you have visited, supported, and connected with us.
None of this would be possible without the incredible support of our volunteers, donors, and neighbors in South Eugene. Your kindness, generosity, and warm welcome have helped make Nightingale a place where people feel supported and valued. Thank you for being an essential part of the Nightingale Community and for helping make our first year such a success.
Donate to Nightingale Fund
The Nightingale Fund supports the ongoing operations, upkeep, and improvements of the Nightingale Community. Your donation helps ensure a safe, stable, and dignified environment for people experiencing homelessness in our community.
Become a Sponsor
If you would like to support Nightingale, please consider becoming a sponsor. Your sponsorship today will make a lasting impact for unhoused community members—at a scale that truly makes a meaningful impact.
Donate Supplies
Donate items from our monthly needs wish list! Community members regularly need supplies that many of us take for granted, including pads, toothpaste, and toilet paper. You can make a donation directly from our Amazon Wishlist.
But wait, that's not all!
