Annual Letter
Hello Friends of Hosea, So much of what we hear in the media, discuss with our families, friends and co-workers, and see all around us has to do with the homeless crisis. In a meeting today someone commented, “the homeless in Eugene have now just become part of the...
Youth House – Volunteers
We are continually looking for good, committed people. But what organization isn't? We are a volunteer driven or ran organization and have been since we began. We have had incredible individuals give their time and resources to serve these youth excellently. When we...
His Grace Is Sufficient
One of my favorite verses is 2 Corinthians 12:8-10, “concerning this I entreated the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast...

Village
People often say that it takes a village to raise kids into adulthood, which is why I like to think that most of us are products of villages-I know that I am. I was incredibly fortunate enough to have multiple families fill in the areas of my life that needed filling,...
Thank You
One of my most rewarding experiences at Hosea has been collaborating with like-minded community members and service providers. For the past year and half, I’ve had the privilege of working on the Youth House (formerly the HYS/SVDP Youth Home) with a collaborative team...
Breaking Walls With Every Little Step
My first glimpse of Hosea was at the Drop-in Center for the Halloween Party. I walked in with my fiance Josh, both hopeful that we could strike up meaningful conversations. We learned very quickly that forming relationships was not going to be that easy. Trust takes...
