Roseburg, OR — February 18 2026 —
A Douglas County H.O.P.E. Drug Court graduate phase participant is proud to launch the Harvesting Hope Project, a community-wide initiative designed to support and expand its food pantry services for families in Roseburg and surrounding areas.
The Roseburg Dream Center food pantry currently distributes thousands of pounds of food each week, serving approximately 2,000 individuals every month. With a strong commitment to meeting both nutritional and emotional needs, the pantry provides a wide selection of fresh fruits and vegetables alongside essential shelf-stable and non-perishable food items.
“Our goal is to ensure that every person who walks through our doors leaves with not only food for their household, but also encouragement, dignity, and hope,” said Jeremy Grammon, Director of the Roseburg Dream Center. “We are deeply grateful for our volunteers and community partners who help make this possible.”
The Harvesting Hope Project will include multiple community events aimed at collecting food and raising critical support for the pantry.
