Coos Bay- With the goal of giving back to the community, some car enthusiasts drive home a generous donation to the THE House.

The Pacific Coast Corvette Club is known for hosting either show 'n' shines or car cruises, but every year, they give money to a worthwhile cause.

And according to Spence Heide, president of the club, THE House was an easy choice.

"We presented a check for $500 to the T-H-E House. We look around every year to see where we can give and help the most, and we think T-H-E House is very deserving. We just see the people lining up here at five o'clock everyday (for food). It's the place to donate some money."

The THE House provides food, shelter, and support to those who are homeless, disabled, or just need some help.

The house has 19 beds, which provides a place to the homeless to sleep and shower.

But the facility itself is in need of help, items such as blankets, soap, and towels are always welcome.

They also could use food items like, fruit, eggs, milk, and meat.

For a complete list of the organization's needs go to their website at: http://www.thehouseinc.net

To make a donation, drop it off at the THE House, which is located at 745 Koos Bay Boulevard.
