A H.O.P.E. Drug Court graduate phase participant has scheduled a cleanup day for Saving Grace Humane Society and is working with Red Robin for meal proceeds.

The Douglas County H.O.P.E. Drug Court program has scheduled the 108th graduation on February 3rd at 5:15 p.m. in the Community Hall building at the fairgrounds.

Graduate hopeful Nathan Goin has chosen to help Saving Grace for his community project, because of his rescue dog and love for animals. Saving Grace is the only full-service animal shelter providing animal sheltering and adoptions, basic veterinary care and community programs. For more information about them, go to: www.savinggracehumanesociety.org

Saving Grace will receive 20 percent of sales from meals at the Roseburg Red Robin on January 9th, from 11:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. This can be done whether dining in-person, on-line or via the Reb Robin mobile app. For online and mobile app orders, diners must add the fundraiser to their cart before they check out for the sales to count towards the fundraiser.

January 11th, Goin is planning a clean-up day at the Saving Grace facility from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Goin is seeking a group of volunteers to join him. Projects will include prefilling litter, cleaning animal carriers, helping move cedar chips to the outdoor animal run or assisting with simple landscaping needs. To volunteer, call or text Nathan Goin at 541-378-1962. Saving Grace is located at 450 Old Del Rio Road, west of the Winchester area.
