Happy Valley Community Comes Together To Support Local Vietnam Veteran - 01/30/26

This Saturday, a powerful example of community compassion will be on display as Team Rubicon volunteers join Happy Valley Mayor Tom Ellis, Director of Community Services Steve Campbell, and city staff to help a local Vietnam Veteran remain in his home.

 

During the recent flooding along the Clackamas River, City of Happy Valley representatives met Gary, a Vietnam Veteran who resides at Carver Mobile Home Ranch. Some of Gary’s neighbors had mentioned that he needed support. With rising expenses and limited resources, he was unable to afford the upgrades needed to bring his home into compliance with park standards. As a veteran who has served our country, Gary needed a helping hand to remain safe in the place he calls home.

 

Moved by Gary’s story, the City of Happy Valley reached out to Team Rubicon, a veteran-led humanitarian organization known for serving communities before, during, and after disasters and crises. Together, they rallied support to ensure Gary received the help he needed.

 

Thanks to the generosity of PARR Lumber’s Damascus location, all necessary supplies including siding, paint, and additional materials were donated to make the needed repairs. Team Rubicon volunteers, alongside city volunteers, will spend Saturday working on Gary’s home to bring it into compliance.

 

Team Rubicon’s mission is to support humanity and build resiliency for vulnerable communities worldwide. This project reflects that mission on a local level, veterans helping veterans, and a community showing up when it matters most.

 

The volunteer effort will take place on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to noon at Carver Mobile Home Ranch- 16300 SE HWY 224, Happy Valley Or 97089 By the end of the day, Gary’s home will meet park standards, allowing him to stay safely housed.

 

The City of Happy Valley is proud to partner with Team Rubicon and grateful to PARR Lumber for their generous donation. This project is a great example of what makes Happy Valley special, neighbors showing up and taking care of one another.
