A H.O.P.E. Drug Court graduate-phase participant is giving back through the Fresh Start Project, hosting a community carwash to raise funds for local Oxford Housing, a vital resource for individuals who are rebuilding their lives in recovery.

A Douglas County Circuit Court release said the carwash will take place on Sunday from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Abby’s Legendary Pizza in the 1600 block of Northeast Stephens Street in Roseburg. The event is donation-based with no set fee.

Funds raised will be used to purchase essential household and personal items for individuals newly accepted into Oxford Houses, including bathroom towels, shower supplies, shower caddies, house slippers and other basic necessities for day-to-day living.

The release said Oxford House plays a critical role in the recovery process and works closely with the H.O.P.E. Drug Court program. It is often the first table housing option available to participants transitioning out of treatment or custody.

Along with the carwash, another option is to donate cans and bottles. H.O.P.E. Drug Court Participant Jack Salberg is also coordinating this effort. Call 817-7494 or drop off donations at the Oxford House Nebo at 263 Southeast Mosher Avenue. Cans and bottles are being accepted through March 4th.

The H.O.P.E. Drug Court program will celebrate its 112th graduation on Tuesday, March 31st at 5:15 p.m. in the Cascade Hall building of the fairgrounds. For more information on the H.O.P. E. Drug Court, go to: https://www.douglascountyor.gov/851/HOPE-Drug-Court
