H.O.P.E. Drug Court Participant Launches "Warming Little Hearts" Community Project to Support Local WIC Families
Roseburg, Oregon – February 12, 2026. A H.O.P.E. Drug Court participant has launched “Warming Little Hearts,” a community driven project dedicated to supporting families served by the local Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program. This initiative is collecting new and gently used children’s books and coats for children ages 3 to 5.
The goal of Warming Little Hearts is to provide essential resources that nurture both the physical well-being and early development of young children. By supplying warm clothing and age-appropriate books, the project helps ensure that children in our community are protected from the cold while also fostering a love of reading at an early age.
“WIC is by your side to provide extra support to help keep your family healthy,” stated Wendy Osincup, WIC Program Manager. “WIC is the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. WIC Provides healthy foods, personalized nutrition education, breastfeeding support and referrals to other services to support you and your family.”
Community members are encouraged to participate by donating children’s books and coats sized for ages 3 to 5 to drop off at one of the following locations:
- Clint Newell Motors – 1481 NE Stephens Street
- Family Development Center – 300 NE Jerry’s Drive
- Adapt Integrated Healthcare – 621 W Madrone, 2nd floor
- Liberty Christian Fellowship – 813 SE Lane Ave.
- Winston Assembly of God – 360 SE Darrell Ave., Winston
H.O.P.E. Drug Court is committed to supporting recovery, accountability, and positive community engagement. Through collaborative programs and service projects, participants work to give back to the community while building healthier futures for themselves and their families. “I’m helping WIC because at my lowest times, they helped me and my daughter when I had nothing to give,” stated Atlyss Homan, Drug Court participant.
Project flyers and additional information about the H.O.P.E. Drug Court program are available through the Douglas County website via the Local Public Safety Coordinating Council (LPSCC) at:
