The Patriot Party borrowed strategies of community organizing from the Black Panthers.[1] For instance, they established a Free Breakfast for Children program.[citation needed] They established "liberation schools" to teach their ideology to children.[2] The Eugene, Oregon chapter, location of the University of Oregon, garnered much community support with their "Free Lumber" program. At this time in the Northwest, some poor people still relied on wood-stoves for cooking and heating, and cheap wood was hard to come by.[3]
