A SAFE PLACE TO SLEEP & RESOURCES FOR HOUSING STABILITY

Want to support Right Track Resource Center but not sure how? Great news! There are plenty of options!
For example, many in our community find joy in cooking and serving hot food. Others notice closets full of clothes they hardly wear and wonder how they might share the warmth. Still others have a few extra dollars in their pocket they'd like to spend responsibly on their community's most vulnerable. Whatever your giving style, the Right Track will gratefully accept your offering.
Which Donation Style Fits You Best?
Are you inspired to support our mission but struggling to decide how? The easiest way to show your support is through online donation. By committing as little as $10/month, you can truly help us keep our doors open. Click here to give.
MONETARY DONATIONS
Every dollar of your donation helps us accomplish our mission.
Because RTRC is currently fiscally sponsored by NEON, all donations are processed through them.
Please make checks payable to NEON (or Northeast Oregon Network) with your check memo stating it's for the Right Track Resource Center or Warming Station Program. Thank you!

meals served
Annually, between November 15 and March 15, while Right Track Resource Center operates the Warming Station, we aim to provide a hot meal to every one of our guests. In fact, our dinners are available to any community member in need, even those who choose not to stay the night. This is all thanks to our remarkable team of volunteer meal donors. So, how about it? Want to join?

VOLUNTEER WITH US!
Did you know RTRC's Warming Station is staffed from 5:30 PM - 7:30 AM, seven days a week,
November through March, entirely by volunteers?
​
It's true! So when we say we couldn't do what we do without our entire team, we mean it. We also need volunteers to help operate our SUMMERTIME, DAYTIME operations!
Right Track Resource Center volunteers are a diverse bunch of do-gooders. Our team includes retired school teachers, EOU students, working parents with young children, former guests, and many more. If you would like to join our team of superheroes sans capes, we would love to have you!
