About The Little Help Book
White Bird Clinic has published a human services resource guide called the “Help Book” since the 1980’s. It contains a comprehensive listing of resources of people seeking health and housing resources, financial assistance, shelter, food pantries and meal sites, and help to meet other basic needs. It helps people navigate the system.
This year, the publication has been updated and will be released in a paper booklet available to the community beginning in February 2020. We are piloting a run of 5,000 copies and will be able to distribute it free of charge thanks to contributions from Lane County Health and Human Services, the City of Eugene, Sponsors, Community Supported Shelter, HIV Alliance, and Eugene Mennonite Church.
While we are working to update this information online in an accessible format, the document is available online here in PDF format.
Check the general categories in our Table of Contents to find the one your need best fits (like “Health” or “Housing”). Then see if you can find your need under that category.
