David Holden has been working at Dial-A-Bus since 2023. On the surface, he is quiet, unassuming, and well-liked by coworkers and clients. He is a reflexively modest person and information about his life away from work leaks out of conversations with David rarely and in small amounts.

By paying attention to David’s choice of T-shirts, it is possible to discern that he lifts weights on a regular basis. However, neither David nor his t-shirts volunteer the information that he is a world class powerlifter.

At a competition earlier this year, David set his sights on qualifying for the National Championships. He exceeded his own expectations by so much that he inadvertently qualified for the World Power Lifting Championship.

David will be traveling to the United Kingdom in November to compete against the strongest people from across the entire globe.

Please join us as we follow and support our Dial-A-Bus family member. An interview with David will be shared soon!

Right now, support for families in need is more important than ever. Due to the ongoing government shutdown and recent cuts to Federal and State programs, many families are losing access to essential food benefits, and SNAP resources may be reduced within the next week.

The Corvallis School District Family Outreach team and Corvallis Public Schools Foundation have launched a Resource Drive for our school community, collecting essential pantry items, grocery store gift cards, and financial contributions to help families in crisis.

You can make a real difference.

View the full list of requested items on the flyer below or at our website https://www.cpsfoundation.org/urgent-resource-drive-for-our-schools-community/

Donate grocery gift cards or make a financial contribution through the Corvallis Public Schools Foundation (select ‘students in need'). https://www.cpsfoundation.org/contribute/donate/

Together, we can ensure no family in our community goes without.

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month!
According to the Office of Disability Employment Policy, the theme for National Disability Employment Awareness Month ( ) 2025 is “Celebrating Value and Talent.”

Many of our clients use our service to get to work and we can clearly see how the community benefits from their presence in it. We also work directly with many people with disabilities on our board and in our office and are so grateful to have their unique insights into what being an accessible organization means.

Another wonderful nonprofit in our community.

Big need for little clothes! We’re low on kids’ sizes at the Free Thrift Store. If your kids have outgrown their clothes, now’s the perfect time to pass them on. Here are our donation hours for the rest of this week:
Tuesday: 2-4pm
Thursday: 10am-12pm

Our next First Saturday is coming up next week (Saturday, November 1) when we'll be taking donations from 12-3.

Gently used donations help local families shop free for what they need most 💚

Quotes from clients on Dial-A-Bus:

"Dial-A-Bus does so much more than transportation and they're willing to fill the gaps that other agencies don't."

"I'm home by myself with a dog and I don't talk to anyone but the dog. So when I get out it's really wonderful. Just even the touching helps... holding my hand, some I've gotten so close to that I get hugs. And it's wonderful so I'm very grateful."

"I have come across many Dial-A-Bus drivers through the years, since the year 1999, who have had big hearts."

"I've been independent my whole life and like to help other people and now I'm the one that needs help. I already knew people were good but I've learned how very helpful they can be."
