Long economic slog saps church, charity assistance in Oregon

Long economic slog saps church, charity assistance in Oregon: PORTLAND, Ore. — Economists say the recession is over, but Oregon churches and charity organizations say they don't see it. Demand for private and public aid is rising, they say, and the money to provide it is down.

Organizations are dipping into reserves, scaling back programs or turning people away, The Oregonian (http://bit.ly/Nu2lP4 ) reported Tuesday. Other organizations are dealing with volunteer burnout and donor fatigue.
