Become an OFSN Benefactor!

OFSN was founded in 1991 to address the overwhelming need to assist families with navigating the complex maze to access resources and support at the federal, state and local community levels for children and adolescents with special needs (behavioral, emotional, mental, physical, etc.).  OFSN staff and volunteers are working together to build and maintain a critical support network across the state of Oregon and beyond.  Getting the right help at the right time can make all the difference in the world to a family and those whose lives they touch.  There are many ways to support this organization and now is a great time.  Contact us for more information.
