Former Country Coach Customer Care Center Repurposed

“Camp Country Coach” Repurposed...
Junction City Building Lives On As A Service Center

 

Feb 28, was a Big Day at Junction City Local Aid. Thanks to the generosity of Bob and Terry Lee, the former Country Coach Customer Care Center at 210 East Sixth Ave in Junction City, OR (remembered fondly by Country Coach owners as Camp Country Coach), was sold to JCLA at an amazing price. The down payment was made and the keys handed over on February 28th.

Shortly thereafter JCLA board members, director, and volunteers met with the Lees at the building to celebrate the signing of the deed. “JCLA is just so excited about the prospect of moving into a much larger space and expanding services…,” board member Karen DeBow shared.  A major fund raising campaign is underway to help the organization underwrite this purchase.
 

As Terry and Bob turned over the keys, they expressed their happiness at seeing this building that served so many Country Coach friends through the years continue to be a service center, now offering assistance to those in need who make their way through its doors.
 

A Junction City Local Aid facility tour is planned during the upcoming CountryCoach Friends Inc’s 3rd Annual Friendship Rally to be held in Albany, Oregon. If you’re registered to attend the rally, be sure to take that tour and see how the former “Camp Country Coach” is being put to great use!  Junction CIty Local Aid serves twenty percent of the population living in Junction City School District's boundaries by providing free food baskets and financial support for utility bills. Only one person on the staff is paid part-time; the rest of the work is done by more than thirty volunteers.

As a longtime RV industry cheerleader I have been a passionate supporter of this organization and serve as a ex officio member of the JCLA board.
