Together We Share

The Southeast Linn Community Center (SELCC) offers many helpful programs for our neighbors. We also connect local residents to organizations in nearby cities that offer support. At SELCC, people living in Lisbon, Mount Vernon, and the surrounding areas can get assistance, volunteer, and join fun events that bring the community together.

We count on donations from companies, granting organizations, and kind individuals. If you would like to make a monetary donation to support our programs and services, you may use PayPal or Venmo. We also accept cash and checks. (Please note: When mailing a check, please use our mailing address.)

You are vital to the success of SELCC. Whether you’re interested in helping out just once, or have time to contribute once a week or once a month, we have a place for you!
