A H.O.P.E. Drug Court graduate phase participant is collecting needed kitchen items for Peace at Home Advocacy Center programs.

The Douglas County H.O.P.E. Drug Court program is prepping for their 108th graduation on February 3rd at 5:15 p.m. in the Community Hall building at the fairgrounds. Graduate hopeful Kristy Parham is seeking kitchen items to make baskets for Peace at Home’s shelter and housing programs.

Peace at Home has been a community based non-profit agency serving the county since 1978. The Youth Housing campus will include a shared pantry facility, daytime drop-in center, overnight shelter options, transitional housing units for young adults, and Tasha’s House LGTBQ services. As the program is ramping up with full services in 2025 for their campus, kitchen items are typically not part of grants or donations received.

Parham is taking this opportunity for her community project to ask for new or gently used items needed for kitchen spaces. Parham said, “This project is special because of the help received for my daughter by Peace at Home”. Parham plans to have a table and sit in front of the Roseburg Grocery Outlet this Saturday with her poster, suggested items list and a donation box for those who want to purchase and drop off items.

Donation boxes to drop off items are available at:

*Douglas County Juvenile Department Lobby on the first floor of the courthouse by room 105

*The Veterans Services Offices at 1036 Southeast Douglas Avenue

*Family Faith and Relationship Advocates at 505 Southeast Main Street

*Peace at Home office at 1202 Southeast Douglas Avenue
