H.O.P.E. Drug Court Participant Leads Community Fundraiser To Support Chadwick Clubhouse Transportation Needs (Photo) - 02/09/26
Roseburg, OR – February 9, 2026. A participant in the H.O.P.E. Drug Court program is turning recovery into action by organizing a community fundraising effort to support Chadwick Clubhouse, a local organization dedicated to serving adults living with mental illness. Recognizing the vital role transportation plays in access to services, the project aims to help Chadwick Clubhouse replace its aging vans, which currently have over 300,000 miles and are no longer reliable.
Chadwick Clubhouse provides a supportive, recovery-focused environment where members can participate in structured daily activities, employment support, and community connection. Reliable transportation is essential to ensure members who are unable to drive can attend programming and access critical services.
To assist with the purchase of a gently used replacement van, a GoFundMe campaign has been launched. In addition, a community spaghetti feed fundraiser will be held on March 6 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Liberty Christian Fellowship Church, 813 SE Lane Street. The cost is $10 per person and includes spaghetti, bread, salad, dessert, and a beverage. Funds raised during the event will help cover insurance costs associated with the new vehicle.
“We are deeply grateful to Nathan for the time and energy he has invested in support of Chadwick Clubhouse,” said the organization’s Executive Director Trista Saltekoff. “Because of his efforts to help improve transportation access, members are better able to participate in meaningful daily structure, employment opportunities, and other essential services that support recovery and community connection for adults living with mental illness.”
Chadwick Clubhouse is a vital community resource because it offers adults living with mental illness a place of belonging, purpose, and support. Using the evidence-based Clubhouse model, Chadwick Clubhouse provides a welcoming, non-clinical environment where members are empowered to participate in meaningful daily activities, develop job skills, and build confidence at their own pace. Members are not viewed as clients, but as valued participants who help shape the program and support one another. Chadwick Clubhouse helps reduce isolation and promotes long-term recovery and stability.
The H.O.P.E. Drug Court program is designed to support individuals involved in the justice system by providing treatment-focused alternatives that emphasize accountability, recovery, and positive community engagement. Community service projects like this fundraiser allow participants to give back while building skills, purpose, and stronger local connections.
