Community Services/Non-Profits in Ashland, OR

“As a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, I try to visit as many elks lodges as I can during my travels. As we were traveling through Southern Oregon, we decided to stop in Ashland and visit Lodge 944. I'm a PER from the Alameda Elks Lodge 1015. If you live anywhere near Ashland, OR then you need to become a member. The Elks obsession with charity is perfectly matched for any Oregonian.”

“Rabbi Avi and Faigy Zweible are the most welcoming kind souls you can come across. They have made the Chabbad experience in Ashland Oregon a safe place to express your Judaism.As well as a great place just to be and learn.Faigy came to me in a time where I needed aid in my life .I did not even know her at the time and she was so prompt to Help me, and to this day I hold such a special place in my nishama for her!Wonderful place and wonderful people!M.

“What the guy said below me: there are SOOO many resellers it’s absolutely RIDICULOUS. You go into this one and its the same old dude with edgy glasses, a tall toy reseller dude and a bunch of lady resellers, but mainly a bunch of dude resellers like please, with your obvious moneymaking skills and tech-y looks please find another hobby and the lady resellers I personally can’t tell if its to resell or hoard… bc same.”

“Local parents needing childcare are in luck because Ashland Y has the best staff with wonderful programs at such reasonable rates. During the years my son needed care for after school, summer camp etc, Keysha Porter was our main contact and I can’t say enough great things about her.We moved here in the midst of pandemic and my son joined Ashland Y when the schools reopened for their in-person classes. I can’t imagine how day to day operations must have shifted in such unimaginable times, but Keysha always welcomed us with open arms and made us feel home like we’re part of the community in this town that was new to us. She was always accommodating and was able to answer any questions. Keysha is the heart and soul of their youth programs and parents have nothing to worry while she runs their programs. I’m still thankful to this date that someone as dedicating as her was closely working with children (and with their parents) while my son needed care. I owe a deep gratitude to our Y for recruiting and retaining a remarkable staff like Keysha because it made a great impact in my son’s life (especially transitioning from school to school at such sensitive time) as well as mine.”
