H.O.P.E. Drug Court Projects Conclude This First Week Of March (Photo) - 03/04/26
Roseburg, OR – The 112th class of the H.O.P.E. Drug Court program is wrapping up its community service projects this week, marking the culmination of hard work, recovery, and community engagement.
Zach Smith will be at Grocery Outlet on Thursday, March 5, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., continuing his collection of dog and cat food to benefit Saving Grace Humane Society. Smith is nearing his final donation goal and is once again reaching out to the community to help bring awareness to the mobile food program twice monthly at Stewart Park that Saving Grace provides to local residents.
Nathan Sessions will host a community spaghetti feed fundraiser on Friday, March 6, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Liberty Christian Fellowship Church, located at 813 SE Lane Street. A free play will take place at 6:00 p.m. for those who would like to enjoy dinner followed by the performance.
The cost is $10 per person and includes spaghetti, bread, dessert, and a beverage. Proceeds from the event will benefit Chadwick Clubhouse, a local nonprofit dedicated to serving adults living with mental illness.
Recognizing the vital role transportation plays in accessing services, this project aims to help Chadwick Clubhouse replace its aging van, which currently has more than 300,000 miles and is no longer reliable. Chadwick Clubhouse provides a supportive, recovery-focused environment where members participate in structured daily activities, employment support, and community connection. Reliable transportation ensures members who are unable to drive can consistently attend programming and access critical services.
To assist with the purchase of a gently used replacement van, a GoFundMe campaign has been launched: https://gofund.me/1e70e549c.
On Saturday, March 7, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., Kevin Davidson will complete the final phase of his three-part community project in partnership with Thrive Umpqua. His efforts included cleaning and repairing the damaged Gateway Community Garden at the Roseburg Senior Center, collecting cans to raise funds for the “Eating Healthy on a Budget” class serving individuals at Adapt’s Progress Point, and now leading a cleanup along the bike path from the Duck Pond to the Tennis Center. This section of the bike path is adopted by Thrive Umpqua. Donations still accepted for this project are vegetable seeds for the community garden, soil, or pressure treated wood to continue updating the garden.
The H.O.P.E. Drug Court program supports justice-involved individuals by providing treatment-focused alternatives that emphasize accountability, recovery, and positive community engagement. Community service projects such as these allow participants to give back while building life skills, purpose, and stronger local connections.
