Do you have coats, thick socks, tents, hand warmers, hats, or other items that could help someone stay warm while they’re sleeping outside? Please drop them off at our Albany or Corvallis offices or at 2nd CHANCE Shelter. We will put them to use right away!

Our five family dorms at 2nd CHANCE are in desperate need of improvements and we can make them with your help. We're only $444.54 away from our fundraising goal. The kids at 2nd CHANCE deserve a more welcoming environment while they're at the shelter with their parents who are trying to rebuild their lives. Make a donation today, if you can, here: https://chancerecovery-bloom.kindful.com/

One of our favorite dogs, and a very good boy, Thunder, a companion to one of our peers got a new squeaky bear from Santa at our Albany office today!

We are so proud of our staff here at CHANCE. In addition to the life changing work they do at CHANCE, many of them are showing up for the recovery community in other ways by hosting recovery meetings, managing sober living or recovery houses, serving on boards or committees for service agencies, or planning recovery events. Last night, 2nd CHANCE's Shelter Director Jon Phelps was honored at the God Gear holiday party, with our Program Director, Holly, and our Kitchen Manager Patricia, in attendance. Thank you, to all of our amazing staff who devote their off time to helping others.
