Overdose can happen anywhere, to anyone. Knowing how to respond can save a life.

Naloxone (Narcan) is safe, easy to use, and available in many communities without a prescription.

As part of National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week, we’re sharing 5 simple steps to help you recognize and respond to an opioid overdose.

It's that time of year—Girl Scout Cookie Season! This year, our favorite, Troop #60, has been practicing their leadership, decision-making, and goal-setting skills by planning a troop trip to the Oregon Zoo! Their goal is to sell 2500 cookies to power this trip and annual troop events.

If you're craving Girl Scouts cookies, Troop 60— the troop affiliated with Girl Scouts Beyond Bars (GSBB), a program that uses Girl Scout experiences to strengthen the bond between youth and their incarcerated mothers, grandmothers, or aunts at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility —is selling cookies through digital (https://digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/troop40060c664) and in-person cookie booths!

This weekend (2/6-8), cookie orders of $60 will get FREE shipping!

You can also support them, in person, on March 14th, from 12:30 - 2 pm at Unitus Community Credit Union locations in Happy Valley and Salem.

Thank you to Permanente Medicine for volunteering with us this morning! This fabulous group assembled 300 birthday kits, for our supportive housing program, with everything someone would need to have a lovely celebration. Now, when one of our housing staff learns someone is having a birthday, they'll be able to brighten their day with one of these kits.

✨ Thank you, NWFS community! ✨

Thanks to your generosity, we raised $9,714.27, reaching 97% of our Give!Guide goal. Every gift helped strengthen our youth programming and support young people as they learn, grow, and build their futures.

We’re deeply grateful to everyone who donated, shared, and cheered us on, to our business and nonprofit partners who stood alongside us, and to Sheri Dooney for her generous matching gift. 💙

So proud of what we accomplished together!
