Raise a Glass. Change a Child's Story.

Join the Southern Willamette Valley rental housing community for an evening of good company, great food and giving back, all for kids and families impacted by foster care in Lane County.

Why Your Night Out Matters

Right now, hundreds of children in Lane County are in foster care. Many arrive at a new home with little more than the clothes they're wearing.

Every dollar raised at Raise A Glass & Give stays local, supporting Every Child Lane County. Every Child mobilizes our community to uplift kids and families impacted by foster care by:

  • Meeting urgent needs like beds, car seats, cribs and groceries through the My NeighbOR program (1,300+ needs met since 2020)
  • Giving kids in crisis a dignified, free "shopping" trip at the Brighter Side Giving Store
  • Bringing holiday joy to local kids and their families (1,500+ children since 2016)
  • Recruiting and supporting foster families so every child has a safe place to land

We house our neighbors every day. On October 21st, let's show up for the youngest ones.
