Douglas County government offices will be closed on Thursday for the Thanksgiving Holiday.

A County release said that the Umpqua River Lighthouse Museum in Winchester Bay will be open for normal business hours and tours on Thursday. Senior Dining Sites and the Meals on Wheels program will be closed. Patrons needing meals for Thursday should call Senior Services at 440-3677 to request an extra meal during their Tuesday delivery.

In addition, some county departments may have limited hours or be lightly staffed on Friday. Please call ahead of visiting to see if the department has staff available to assist. Call 672-3311 for general inquiries and department extensions.

As always, even when county government offices are closed, many officials and staff are still working. Sheriff’s deputies and 911 communications staff will continue to provide law enforcement protection.
