Mission Statement
Eugene Weekly Press Club’s mission is to support local journalism and train future journalists in Oregon with an emphasis on news sources in the Willamette Valley. The project’s focus is on long-form, long-term, investigative, community-focused and solutions journalism from hard news to the arts. In particular, EWPC seeks to support smaller, independent newspapers covering needed community issues and those in underserved areas, particularly rural areas of Lane County, and covering underserved populations. Award-winning work includes Eugene Weekly‘s obituaries for the unhoused series, honoring people who die homeless in the community whose deaths would otherwise go unremarked.
About Us
For more than 40 years, Eugene Weekly has provided free, independent local journalism, arts and entertainment coverage, and a platform for community voices that are often overlooked.
​
Community support helps keep Eugene Weekly free and accessible to everyone. Every donation helps us tell more stories that matter, add more pages of local reporting and foster the next generation of journalists.

Community Garden Crew
Get your hands dirty and help our gardens grow! Volunteers help with planting, weeding, watering and harvesting fresh produce at our community garden sites. No gardening experience is needed, and all ages and skill levels are welcome.
Harvest & Food Distribution
Help fresh food get from our gardens to local families. Volunteers harvest seasonal produce, sort and pack food, and prepare boxes for our weekly community distribution. It’s a hands-on way to make an immediate impact.
Farm & Garden Events
Pitch in at one of our community work parties or seasonal events. Volunteers help with everything from harvesting and garden projects to welcoming neighbors and supporting family-friendly activities. Come for a few hours and be part of a fun day outdoors.
