Brookings-Harbor is experiencing a seasonal uptick in food insecurity. “Summer is often a hungry season for families,” explains Sister Cora Rose, who ministers at St. Timothy Episcopal Church in Brookings. “Students aren’t at school receiving meals and snacks; and some forms of supplemental food resources are tied to seasonal charitable giving, like special holiday food boxes and community holiday meals – these typically aren’t available apart from the winter holiday season. ”The Community Kitchen, Brookings CORE Response, and Brookings-Harbor Community Helpers (Food Bank) are all feeling the crunch with increased demand for food from during the summer slump, paired with decreased purchasing power for grocery price inflation.
In addition, temporary climate refugees add to the need for food resources on the coast. “We are seeing seasonal uptick of new faces, as folks flee areas with a lot of wildfires, high heat and summer smoke,” says Fr. Bernie Lindley, whose church hosts the Community Kitchen several days of the week. “We expect to see this pattern summer after summer.”
Can you help spread the word about opportunities to donate items to three great community organizations in Brookings-Harbor to help meet the needs of your neighbors this summer?
In particular, these organizations are in need of the following:
Community Kitchen
Kitchen funds and pantry available for all participating churches administered by St. Timothy Episcopal Church as the distribution hub for the kitchens.
Financial donations (tax-deductible) and nonperishable food donations are appreciated.
Drop Off : 401 Fir Street, Brookings (Monday, Wednesday, or Friday 9:00 AM – noon)
Mailing address: St. Timothy Episcopal Church, PO Box 1237, Brookings, OR 97415

Families that have foster youth or are eligible for free and reduced lunch can learn more and apply by calling 833-ORE-SEBT. Families that already receive SNAP, TANF, or Oregon Health Plan should have already received the Summer EBT benefit without applying.

We live in a civilized, First World country. We were raised to believe that if you just work hard enough, you can accomplish anything, and there are safety nets our government has put in place for those who find themselves needing help. What a shock it’s been for many of us to discover those safety nets either have big holes, or aren’t there to begin with. We are each of us only one catastrophic illness, one horrific accident, or one disaster away from being homeless and on the street. This week Our Community host Candice Michel and Brookings CORE Response Executive Director Diana Cooper discuss the lack of safety nets, and how that failure impacts our most vulnerable community members, our elders.

Brookings City Manager Janell Howard returned to work on February 1, 2023, after a seven month paid administrative leave, but controversy continues to surround the City Council’s decision to reinstate her as Brookings CEO. Howard was arrested at the Brookings Fred Meyer store on shoplifting charges last July, and the Council reinstated her, with a raise, despite protests from city workers and the public.

Our Chetco Community Public Library is one of the jewels of our town. Newly renovated, it feels bright and spacious, and chock full of good books.

Anger and outrage were heavy as the Brookings City Council met for their regularly scheduled meeting on March 13, 2023. It was standing-room-only as more than 75 people tried to crowd into the room to voice their displeasure with the City Council’s decision to reinstate Janell Howard as City Manager after her conviction for theft from the Brookings Fred Meyer store in July of last year. Ms. Howard and the members of Council sat impassively listening to the concerns of more than half a dozen people who spoke. Unfortunately, the City’s speaker microphone failed at the beginning of the meeting, so anyone watching the meeting on TV couldn’t hear what was being said. Luckily, KCIW had a recorder working.

This week Our Community host Candice Michel explores that question with Brookings CORE Response Executive Director Diana Cooper, in the wake of 62 yr old Dana Neville’s death from exposure in Gold Beach last week.

The arrest and conviction for theft by our City Manager, Janell Howard, on July 4 of last year continues to impact our community.

During the 1800s, the merchant class in Mexico City had goods shipped from Spain and China. Many times ships would get lost at sea to storms or pirates. Then, once arriving to the port of Acapulco and loaded on carts, the goods might be stolen by Zapotec Indians. Consequently, the price of goods was always more than the merchants originally paid for them. Of course! They had to make a profit, but this practice gave them a bad name – Scorpions! Here’s just one of the tales about how Don Lorenzo was called El Alacran.
This legend comes from oral traditions, but Billie Ruth added a few choice details of her own. Let’s go meet El Fraile y el Alacran – The Friar and the Scorpion.

St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church in Brookings provides COVID-19 testing and vaccinations as an Oregon Health Authority partner. Brookings City Manager Janell Howard says the city doesn’t want to shut down those services, just move them. But the OHA says “the notion that a local partner such as St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church could be asked to shut down or move its critically important COVID-19-related work in the midst of this surge is deeply troubling, and such an interruption could harm the citizens of Brookings and Curry County.” KCIW has the latest.
