Greetings!

Each year, families in Linn, Benton, and Lincoln Counties turn to Pollywog to find support during the holiday season—and throughout the year. Our Holiday Resource Guide is one of the most widely used tools we create, helping families quickly connect with meals, gifts, clothing, housing support, and more.

With your help, we can make sure this year’s guide is accurate, up-to-date, and filled with resources families can count on.

What We’re Looking For

If your agency offers holiday or year-round supports, please share them with us! We include resources such as:

• Holiday meals and gifts
• Food pantries and community meals
• Hygiene and clothing closets
• Thrift stores and Library of Things
• Housing and laundry assistance
• Other assistance programs and resources

How to Contribute

📧 Send your information to pollywog@linnbenton.edu
⏰ Deadline: Friday, October 24th (so we have time for translation and publishing before the guide is released on Monday, November 3rd).

The guide will be available in both English and Spanish and will be shared widely in our region with families and community partners.

Additional Opportunities

• If you have holiday resources with earlier deadlines, let us know—we’re happy to share them on social media right away.

• Every December, we also publish a Holiday Activity Guide highlighting free or low-cost family events. If your organization is hosting an event, please send us the details!

• We’re glad to share family resources year-round through Pollywog’s website and social media.

You can view the 2024 Holiday Resource Guide in English and Spanish as a reference.

Thank you for the important work you do in our community, and for partnering with us to make sure families know where to turn for support.
