About OCFN
Family networks help families map meaningful lives, connect with community and resources, and practice peer support. Each organization receives support from the Oregon Council on Developmental Disabilities. Sammy's Place began its COAAST Family Network work in 2020 to support Oregon's North Coast after Sammy's Place strategic planning recognized how few and far between services can be in rural coastal Oregon.
