A H.O.P.E. Drug Court graduate-phase participant is seeking to collect clothing, nonperishable food and toiletries that are needed by the Roseburg Dream Center.

The Douglas County H.O.P.E. Drug Court program is preparing for their 109th graduation on May 13th at 5:15 p.m. in the Cascade Hall at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

Graduate hopeful Zachary Thor Schwab is seeking assistance for his project to help the Roseburg Dream Center.

The Roseburg Dream Center started in the south end of Roseburg and later moved to the current location on Northeast Diamond Lake Boulevard. Today they offer free clothing, have a food pantry and are working to expand services in order to bring solutions to the growing needs of the community.

Schwab has previously used their services and decided to have his community project benefit the organization. Besides clothing, food and toiletry items, he is seeking sponsors and assistance to provide a meal on April 21st during a Connecting Point service day for those attending to seek help. Connecting Point is a mobile navigation program consisting of local agency members who travel to various locations to meet people to assist with identification, jobs, housing, Naloxone, testing kits, hygiene and more.

Donation boxes to drop off items are located at:

*The Douglas County Courthouse in the Juvenile Department lobby on the first floor

*Adapt Integrated Health Care on the second-floor lobby at 621 West Madrone Street.
