Nursery Relief

The Eugene Relief Nursery recently announced that their ReliefMobile, a Holiday Rambler Endeaver donated by Monaco Coach Corporation, would be providing yet another service to the community. The ReliefMobile will be available at the Lane County Courthouse every Monday morning for families obtaining protective orders as a result of domestic violence. The special service is free to all children ages five and under, allowing them to play in a supervised environment instead of sitting in a courtroom.

When it was donated in 1999, the ReliefMobile was converted from a normal motorhome into an Outreach Center complete with a playroom, changing table, toy and clothing storage, parental resources and fully functional kitchen and restroom. Even as it serves as a temporary daycare at the courthouse today, the coach will still provide all the previous services to parents in need, including clothes, toys, books, parenting support and referrals to community agencies.

The Relief Nursery works with low-income families who have children under the age of six, offering a number of programs to teach people of all ages how to be better parents. The Nursery’s mission is to prevent the cycle of child abuse by early intervention. For more information, call (541) 343-9706.
